Frozen Shoulder: Why Forcing Range Early Can Backfire

Adhesive capsulitis needs phase-matched mobility and patience — not aggressive stretching from day one.

Physiotherapy matches the dose to the phase: calm the irritability, then regain usable range, then rebuild strength for dressing, driving and sleep comfort.
