The three-phased progression of frozen shoulder tends to progress regardless of treatment<br />
interventions. In spite of an almost inevitable progression of this condition, it appears that<br />
maintaining motion and mobility throughout the progression of this malady reduces the<br />
permanent loss in motion that may result from a bout with a frozen shoulder.<br />
One of the primary treatment concerns with frozen shoulder is<br />
managing the patient’s frustration and adjusting expectations..<br />

and some patients will have lasting impairment. Healing may be a<br />
long slow process fraught with periods of pain and reduced<br />
shoulder function.<br />
