Frozen Shoulder Exercises vs. Surgery
The truth is only 20% of people with frozen shoulder actually HAVE to have surgery. The other 80% can significantly reduce their pain if not completely abolish their frozen shoulder with exercise. In this article we'll look into different frozen shoulder exercise options as well as exploring how fast you can expect these exercises will work for you.
Eliminating frozen shoulder is a complex endeavor and it will take a complete, well planned system to have true success. A question that is commonly asked by patients that are suffering from frozen shoulder is; “How fast can I get rid of my frozen shoulder?” There are many factors that influence just how fast success can be achieved. For one, it depends on how long the patient has had the problem as well as which areas of the shoulder are affected. However, with all of that said, a good frozen shoulder exercise program can speed up the recovery.
Frozen shoulder can actually be treated successfully or eliminated faster than many people think. For some, it can take less than a month if the patient is committed to following a progressive and aggressive program, completing all of the frozen shoulder exercises and being consistent with their program. For others, it may take a little longer…again, depending on how bad the specific issues are and how long they have had the symptoms. It is important to realize that many people have been in treatment for their frozen shoulder for years and some have never found a successful treatment plan and live with the limitations of this problem for the rest of their lives.

Frozen Shoulder Exercises - How Fast Do They Work
Unfortunately, it can take some people years to get rid of frozen shoulder. But the good news is that if you have a well structured program you can actually find relief in 1-3 months. Since if you have frozen shoulder you are most likely going to be anxious to get rid of it as fast as possible faster - this is good news.
I believe that in many cases people can find a 'cure' for their frozen shoulder rather fast , it is very important to understand that it is an extremely complex issue. Accelerating the rate of a full recovery can only happen if there is a solid plan followed.
If you start to see your exercises working the some of the pain symptoms go away quickly please don't stop. Some people have made the mistake of stopping their treatment after their shoulder starts to feel better, thinking that they are on the road to a full recovery. However, to have real, long-term success the person must continue and finish the program in its entirety.

Thanks for publishing some useful information.
Frozen Shoulder can be a real disaster.Exercises shown above can really help to improve the situation and thus the surgery can be avoided to an extent.It was a very informative article. Thanks for sharing.
Frozen shoulder excercises can help us to improve the conditions of our frozen shoulders without any surgery.
I really liked this. It was very informative and it had some great tips I can share with my husband who has issues with one of his shoulders due to a work injury.
Its very interesting and wonderful to read that frozen shoulder problems can be get treated by doing such good exercises.Very thankful for this informative news, that we can avoid surgery!!!
This is a wonderful site. Thank you. We just started the exercises and so far it has really benefited us. I will share this site with a friend who is also having the same problem.
This is an informative post on a concerning topic. For musicians like myself (particularily Horn/marching band musicians) this would prove to be very distracting and potentially career-ending. While at a younger age, you don't typically realize any slight pain unless it is significant, its nice to have some detailed exercises as listed in this post to potentially avoid any future concerns. Thanks!
Very informative and useful post. Its a very well structured program which definitely will help get rid of frozen shoulder. Although it might be a bit time consuming but undoubtedly will benefit in the long run.
Wow, I had never heard of a "frozen shoulder" before this article. Thanks for helping me learn something new. This is a well-written and useful article for people going through this type of body pain. All of the diagrams for exercises were especially helpful. :)
Very useful article and it's great that exercises are shown through photos, too. I was facing this problem (frozen shoulder) a couple of years ago and the exercises that I was recommended were similar to these ones.
This is a very good and well written article. The exercises look worth trying and the diagrams are particularly helpful. Thank you, good to know there is help for this condition.
Thanks a lot for this excellent post. I am suffering from Frozen shoulder and wanted to avoid surgery. (somehow I am very scared of the very word). I had heard about such exercises, but didn't know exactly how to follow. Now with these pics, gonna strictly follow them.
Great relief to people like me
It is always good to know that there are alternatives to surgery, especially shoulder surgery. If the exercises can help, why not try them; surgery recover can take longer than a month, so it is definitely worth a try.
Thanks for posting an article like this. So many people I have known, including myself, suffer or suffered from this disorder. While a strict exercise and maintenance regime can be painful at times, and time consuming at others, a regime like this is what enabled me to regain full function after 2mths. This came after months of no success using ice, heat, meds and gentle (and insanely pitiful amount of) exercises. But people need to have patience and persevere. As you said in the article, a minority of people will actually require surgery. I like how you added the videos and pics for people to refer back to.
These exercises seem to be just what the doctor ordered. It makes sense that this would help and I would defiantly try this before doing surgery.It's great that there are pictures on how to do these exercises as well, Great article. Thanks.
The most important thing this frozen shoulder article stresses is not stopping the exercises when you begin to feel better. When you are arthritic, the frozen shoulder can recur. While it is a bad thing to have repetitive surgery, it is a very good thing to repeat the frozen shoulder exercises every time the frozen shoulder recurs; past the time the shoulder begins to improve.
Its really very informative article,one of my relative is suffering from Frozen Shoulder Pain and now i am going to redirect her to read this article. Good Job done.Thanks a lot for sharing this valuable information.
I like this approach. In western culture, drugs, surgery are turned to too often. The fact of the matter is that physical therapy, and exercise can treat most issues such as this. It won't fix everything, but surgery and painkillers are very risky.
Wow! This articles is just in time. I am scheduled to have surgery for my rotator cuff/shoulder due to a previous sports injury in college. Maybe, I'll try these exercises as a last resort and hopefully I won't need surgery. Great timing!
This is very useful for my family. My mother and sister both have problems with their shoulders and I'll forward this to them. Thank you.
I'm glad you're getting the word out on this. I think any sort of exercise that may possibly make surgery unnecessary should be tried. So many people undergo painful surgery and have long recovery times and in some cases this might be prevented.
Very interesting article, I for one have not heard of frozen shoulder. The exercises look simple to do and remind me of some I have heard about to help with arthritis.
I never heard of Frozen shoulder before. Learn something new everyday. The article is very informative. Do you have any articles about your back under the shoulder blade? That is where I am having trouble right now. Thanks for sharing your information.
Thats very useful article, good information help people know how to relax their shoulder and let them avoid surgery. I will share that to my friends coz all of them have the problem more or less.
I've been a sufferer of frozen shoulder for the past few years. Other exercises I've tried just didn't seem to relieve the pain. I came across this article and tried the mentioned exercises for the past week and there's already been a noticeable decrease of pain and stiffness in my shoulder. Definitely worth a shot.
Even for people who have never suffered from frozen shoulder this article is beneficial. I tried some of the exercises out and I could feel my shoulders loosening up. I'm stiff in the neck and shoulders quite often. These exercises must help prevent frozen shoulder; and will definitely help those who suffer find relief! My favorite are the wand exercises pictured above. Thanks for helping me get rid of some shoulder tension!
Well, never heard of this before. But seems to be very useful for persons suffering. The exercises are nicely shown in lucid pictures, so I think I am gonna try this for myself.
I myself am suffering with a type of frozen shoulder. When I get up in the middle of the night, my fingers are numb from my shoulder being inflammed. I started using the execises that you recommend in htis hub and it is really starting to help. Thanks for the information.!
I have a sister that suffers from this issue; frozen shoulder. After all the great information on here, I printed out all the excercises for her to perform and after 1 week of completing the work outs on her shoulder, she has already began to see the difference.
We are so thankful that she will not have to look towards surgery.
Thank you again!
This article is a very helpful one for those with frozen shoulders.A lots of people with this frozen shoulders thinks they need to see doctor to get rid of it but with this article,it is clear,with those specified exercise,it can be get rid off.Once again,great article.
It's hard to find this good of information on frozen shoulder therapy. This is good to know so you don't have to go to the doctor or fork out money if you don't have insurance. These exercises also work well for anybody that has general shoulder issues. I have used these exercises to built back the strength in my shoulder after a dislocation.
I read a lot of advice about excercise and stretching, but I very rarely come across effective shoulder exercises. My shoulders suffered a lot from carrying heavy loads in the past. I'll definitely try these.
This article was most helpful since it provides pictures on how to do the routines and they seem pretty easy and not all that difficult to do. I will start to do these shoulder exercises in my daily routine.
This was a great article and a very informative one as well. I had never heard of a frozen shoulder until now. This will be very useful for my mother who suffers from these problems. Please keep the information coming.
Very informative article. It's nice to know that even though there is no cure, sufferers can get some relief by following simple exercises
My aunt has adhesive capsulitis, she has been suffering for 5 months or so... I am glad I came across this page, it was useful and those pictures of the exercises are a great touch. I am going to be sending her the link soon in hopes that she tries it. At current she is taking medication for the pain, but if this will help I think she will try it.
I stumbled on this looking for an alternative to surgery. I've recently been diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis, but have had problems since I was injured playing Judo (although they say that might not be the cause for certain). I'm desperate to do anything to avoid surgery, one of my friends has had repeated surgery and he's still suffering.
Thanks for the tips, I'm going to give it a try.
This is a very informative article. The exercises make sense and will most likely help my frozen shoulder! Hopefully, as you said, I'll start to see a noticeable relief in 1-3 months Thanks for this article!
Great article! I like the pictures of the easy-to-do exercises. I think everyone with a problem like this needs to try everything possible to avoid surgery. Hopefully they will find this article and see just how easy (with alot of effort) it might be to cure themselves. Thanks!
Had frozen shoulder in 2004 and had manipulation done under anesthesia with an extremely painful recovery. Will never do that again. Now I have it in my other shoulder and have found an outstanding massage therapist (with experience treating this condition) who has helped me increase range of motion in a more natural way. Occupational and physical therapists were either too aggressive and aggravated my pain, or placed me on "machines" that didn't help and did little hands on work. Hands on tissue work is by far the most effective treatment!
have tried all these exercises and for a period of 6 months, now at 9 months and nothing has changed, i am 37yrs fit and healthy so why isnt it working?
have tried all these exercises and for a period of 3months, now at 6 months and a very lttle has changed, i 51 yrs old. When I will get rid off
I went to Physical Therapy for 5 months and it helped tremendously!! I actually got rid of the pain. Now 6 months later the frozen shoulder is back and I am searching for exercises that will help. I received massage, sonogram, and they place a tins unit on my shoulder during physical therapy and I did exercises too. Make your own pulley and hook it on a door and this helps a lot!!
Have had maniipulations on both shoulders after months of therapy with both. I had an injury with first shoulder, but not with the second. After 2yrs I still have pain in both & I'm still in therapy. I still wake up up at night in pain, but it's better than it before. How long can it take to remedy this situation? My physician says it just takes time. My therapist is in a rush. Ugh!
