Questions about this service
Does frozen shoulder need surgery?
Most people start with non-surgical care, such as physiotherapy to ease pain and gradually restore movement. A doctor considers other options only if symptoms still severely limit daily life despite appropriate treatment.
How long until I can lift my arm better?
It varies from person to person. Many people regain useful movement in 4–8 weeks with regular physiotherapy and home exercises.
How should I exercise my shoulder at home?
The physiotherapist gives you short daily exercises, adjusted to your symptoms. Never force a stretch into severe pain.
Weakness, slurred speech, facial droop or chest pain: call 1669 or go to emergency care.
