Exercises for Frozen sholder
Physical therapy and exercises are important components of the treatment for frozen shoulder. Here are some exercises that can help to reduce pain and increase mobility in the shoulder joint:
• Pendulum exercises: Stand with your affected arm supported by a table or chair, and gently swing your arm back and forth, using your body weight to increase the range of motion.
• Arm circles: Stand with your arms at your sides, and slowly make circles with your affected arm, increasing the size of the circles as your shoulder becomes more flexible.
• Shoulder blade squeeze: Stand with your arms at your sides, and squeeze your shoulder blades together to stretch the muscles in your chest and upper back.
• Doorway stretch: Stand in a doorway with your affected arm straight out in front of you, and gently lean forward until you feel a stretch in the front of your shoulder.
• Towel stretch: Hold a towel with both hands behind your back, and gently pull the towel up and down to stretch the muscles in the back of your shoulder.
It's important to start with gentle exercises and gradually increase the intensity as your shoulder becomes more flexible. Be sure to stop any exercises that cause pain, and consult with a physical therapist or doctor to determine the best exercise plan for you.
