1.Get Diagnosed

2. Use a Comprehensive Frozen Shoulder Program

You want to find a program that includes: Strengthening, Stretching, Range of Motion work, and Soft Tissue work to eliminate adhesions and knots which are restricting your movement.

A solid frozen shoulder treatment plan will not only get rid of your frozen shoulder but keep it from coming back. Frozen shoulder does come back. I just had an email exchange with a new client and it was the 3 time that she had frozen shoulder (in the same shoulder everytime).

When I started asking her questions about the program that she had used prior to becoming one of my clients I discovered that she had never done any soft tissue work for her shoulder and had only done a little bit of strengthening. Her program mostly consisted of stretching. If you’re a regular reader of my blog then you know that stretching is not enough to get rid of frozen shoulder.

Most people don’t know a lot about the soft tissue part of treatment. Go here to see my 90 seconds to frozen shoulder pain relief where I show you exactly how to put soft tissue work to work for you.

The good news is that the answer is YES! Watch the video below to see what you need to focus on doing to prevent frozen shoulder from happening. This is also really important if you had frozen shoulder, got rid of it, and now you are worried that it might come back again.

Here’s a quick recap of the 3 things you need to do to prevent frozen shoulder

1. Keep Your Shoulders Strong
2. Specific and Proper Stretching Routines
3. Proper Range of Motion Activities

Here it is:

Treatment with therapy and NSAIDs will usually return the motion and function of the shoulder within a year. Even if left untreated, the frozen shoulder can get better by itself in 18 – 24 months.

Even if surgery restores motion, you must continue physical therapy for several weeks or months afterward to prevent the frozen shoulder from returning. Treatment may fail if you cannot tolerate physical therapy.

18-24 months! Whoa. How about 3 months? That’s how long it takes on the Frozen Shoulder Elimination program

I an acutally happily report that many people have told us that they have greatly reduced (if not completely eliminated) their use of NSAIDs) after being on the program.

How can you get rid of frozen shoulder so fast? Simple (not east, but simple) you need to use a multi-pronged approach. I have some more videos to share with you about the different stages of frozen shoulder and how it doesn’t really matter when you use a multi-pronged approach. More soon.

Here’s more info on the study.

Results:The improvement in the range of motion after arthroscopic capsular release was considerable and statistically significant (p<0.05) compared to pre-operative values both intraoperatively and after a minimum of two years of follow-up in both groups and across all planes of movement tested. The improvement of function of the shoulder after a minimum two years following arthroscopic capsular release was significant (p<0.05) according to the Constant-Murley score (from 19.3 preoperatively to 65.9 postoperatively, 0-75) and the ASES score (from 22.8 preoperatively to 92.7 postoperatively, 0-100).

Conclusions: Arthroscopic capsular release significantly improved the range of motion and function in idiopathic and posttraumatic frozen shoulder.
