FROZEN SHOULDER, also known as adhesive capsulitis and is characterised by stiffness and pain in your shoulder joint.
Signs and symptoms -
- begins gradually
- worsens over time and then resolves, usually within one to three years
- develops slowly, and in three stages. Each stage can last a number of months =
1- Freezing stage. Any movement of your shoulder causes pain, and your shoulder's range of motion starts to become limited.
2- Frozen stage. Pain may begin to diminish during this stage. However, your shoulder becomes stiffer, and using it becomes more difficult.
3- Thawing stage. The range of motion in your shoulder begins to improve.
For some people, the pain worsens at night, sometimes disrupting sleep.
Prevention -
One of the most common causes of Frozen Shoulder is immobility, so make sure you use it, otherwise you will loose it!
Differential Diagnosis -
Frozen shoulders are often overly diagnosed when there is simply a joint placement malfunction going on. Make sure you get properly assessed to see if we can make a difference to you movement and pain sooner rather than later! ... See MoreSee Less

Just a quick update from the COVID press conference yesterday.
Although it stated all allied health are going back to face-to-face, it actually meant for allied health that are on the approved list. Unfortunately that hasn't included us.
The Myotherapy Association of Australia have several meetings lined up to try to overturn this decision. If it is overturned we will post another update.
So at this stage we are still only able to treat those with endorsed care plans from NDIS and Workcover until the 2nd of November. You can call 1300 696 848 to make an appointment for November but the full capabilities of the online booking system will not be active until Friday the 30th of October.
Everyone with bookings this week and next will be contacted once we hear the outcome of the associations meetings. We want to get back to treating as soon as we can, so if it turns out we can return this week, your appointments will go ahead. We have reserved your times for in a fortnight as well so you don't miss out on first availability.
Anyone that makes a booking for the 2nd of November onwards will be contacted if we end up being able to return sooner and we can fit you into our schedule. Please note that some screening may take place to ensure a Telehealth appointment isn't more appropriate for your concern.
Thank you so much for your patience and continued support. If you have any questions feel free to DM here or email hello@myothrive.com.au ... See MoreSee Less

Shoulder is the most multi directional joint in the body and thus can be the most problematic.
Shoulders also work together with your shoulder blade and can be impacted by the curve of your spine and your core and glute strength through myofascial trains and planes of movement.
. . . . .
Check to see if all movements of the shoulder are moving well-
• Lifting to the front
• Reaching behind you down low & out to the side
• Inward rotation
• Outward rotation
• Lifting arm to the side
• Reaching across your chest
• Rotation
If you find any movements that are painful, limited or jerky, it might be time for an assessment. Reach out and we can help! ... See MoreSee Less
