You might first notice pain with activities that comes on over time. You might not realize that you have less shoulder motion at first. Frequently people develop pain and respond by using their affected shoulder less, which in turn leads to increased stiffness of that shoulder, which leads to even more pain, and so on.
In this video, I explain what adhesive capsulitis is and who often gets it. Then I discuss how doctors and physical therapists can help you recover shoulder motion, overcome pain and get back to doing what you love to do.
