These three exercises worked for me. Hard to clarify in words.
1) Stand facing a wall. Using the hand of the shoulder which is frozen walk your hand up along the wall as high as you can and then back down again. Do this five era.
2) With your arm simply hanging down swing it to and fro at about 30 degrees with the plane of your body and then at about 120 degrees with your body (the reverse of the first movement). The amount of swing must be about 30 to 40 degrees. Do this five era in each of the two planes.
3) With your arm simply hanging down swing it around in a clockwise direction such that your arm describes a cone and your hand describes a circle. Do this five era and Repeat it five era in the anticlockwise direction.
Do all of this Four or Five era per day and oftener if you can.
I hope its apparent

Hi there
Frozen shoulder is a hard issue when it comes to exercise – because the stiffness tends to limit your ability to really go or stretch the joint.
In the latter stages – when things are beginning to recover – then you can try doing some Rotator Cuff Exercises or stretches aimed at getting your range of movement back. You can read more about that on my website here: http://www.jointenterprise.co.uk/rotator-cuff-exercises.htm – but in general terms it’s always best to do these kind of exercises under the supervision of a physical therapist.
There is some evidence that trying to do exercises or stretches in the early painful stage of frozen shoulder can really make things worse and not surpass.
My advice would be to speak to a physical therapist and get some direct input tailored to your own wants.
Hope that helps
Gordon

I have it right now – into my third month. I’ve altered physical therapists 3 era because the 1st one got me on weights too soon – made it worse. The 2nd one never did any exercises for external rotation – now I have absolutely no range of motion that way. My latest one uses ultrasound and massage, and the exercises she said to do were:
clasp hands like you’re praying. Push in, pull out, keeping hands clasped. Use pulleys to gently go arms in all directions, but without stretching to the max, or causing pain. Pain only signals the arm to freeze up more. Then at the end, lay on stomach, hang arm down with a 2-4 lb weight. This stretches the joint capsule, which is constricted and is the cause of FS. Do the ‘plus’ sign, north south, then east west. No circles.
This is my latest therapy, I hope it works. Once this damned debilitating malady starts to boost, I’m going to try yoga or pilates to keep tone and prevent it from entering the additional shoulder. This is the worst and most depressing thing I’ve ever veteran because it’s like the movie Groundhog Day… it never seems to change or get surpass. But I’m hoping that the literature I’ve read is right and it improves on its own in time.
I also take a glucosomine, Msm, condroiton combo, with anti-inflamatories, and vitamins for people over 50 (I’m 47). I go to a chiropractor, and he does accupressure as well. But I can’t say for sure that any of this makes any variation. I nearly wish I could be place in a medically induced coma for a year!! But then I’d miss my kids’ lives.
