At Essex Coast Physio, we’re here to ensure joint pain doesn’t hold you back or stop you making memories. Our Free Joint Pain Assessment helps you understand your condition and how it can be treated.
Without treatment, a frozen shoulder can take up to 18 months to heal. It does not have to be this way. Get the treatment you need to be back at your best in weeks.
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, occurs when the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint thickens and tightens, leading to severe stiffness and pain. As movement becomes increasingly restricted, even the simplest tasks—like reaching for a seatbelt, putting on a jacket, or washing your hair—become frustratingly difficult. Without treatment, frozen shoulder can linger for well over a year, slowly eroding your ability to stay active and independent.
Many of our patients describe the same story: at first, it’s just a little stiffness. You assume you must have slept awkwardly, and you expect it to pass. But as the weeks go by, the stiffness turns into a deep, aching pain. Lifting your arm becomes nearly impossible. You start avoiding things you love—playing golf with friends, reaching up to lift your grandchild, or even driving your car with ease. Everyday life begins to feel restricted. You feel trapped in your own body, hesitant to commit to plans because you’re unsure how much pain your shoulder will allow.
But you don’t have to wait for frozen shoulder to run its course.
At Essex Coast Physio, we help people with frozen shoulder regain movement faster than if left untreated. Through expert hands-on therapy, personalised rehabilitation exercises, and proven mobility techniques, we loosen the stiffness, reduce your pain, and restore your ability to move freely.
Don’t let shoulder pain make you hesitate when it comes to playing your favourite sport, hugging your loved ones, or driving wherever you want to go. Get the right treatment today and take back control of your movement.
