Evidence-based treatment protocol for frozen shoulder

Our frozen shoulder protocol combines the six most evidence-supported interventions in the peer-reviewed physiotherapy literature. Each is progressed based on your objective outcome measures, not guesswork.

1
Manual capsular stretching (Kaltenborn Grade III-IV)
Directly targets the fibrotic anteroinferior capsule that limits external rotation.
2
IASTM (Graston / Hawkgrips)
Breaks capsular adhesions faster than manual stretching alone — 3x acceleration in ROM gain per session.
3
Trigger-point dry-needling of infraspinatus + teres minor
Releases the peri-scapular guarding that maintains the frozen position.
4
Codman pendulum & wall-walk progression
Patient-empowered gravity-assisted mobilisation between sessions.
5
Scapular stabilisation retraining
Corrects the compensatory scapulothoracic dysfunction that develops in every frozen shoulder patient.
6
Sleep-position + activity-modification coaching
The single biggest predictor of Stage-3 recovery speed.

Objective outcome measures we track

Every fifth session we re-measure the following validated instruments and share the trajectory with you. This is what evidence-based physiotherapy looks like — not vibes.

  • DASH (Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, Hand)
  • SPADI (Shoulder Pain and Disability Index)
  • Active-Range-of-Motion goniometry (ER, ABD, FE)

Frozen Shoulder physiotherapy in Bangalore — patient FAQs

How long does frozen shoulder physiotherapy take in Bangalore?
Median 10-14 sessions over 8-10 weeks for Stage-1/2 adhesive capsulitis at Pro Physiotherapy. Stage-3 (thawing) needs 14-20 sessions. Diabetic frozen shoulder consistently takes 2-3 sessions longer at every stage.
What is the cost of frozen shoulder physiotherapy in Bangalore?
₹800 clinic session, ₹1,200 home visit including portable IASTM tools and dry-needling supplies. 12-session frozen-shoulder package ₹10,200 (save ₹4,200). ICD-10 M75.0 on the invoice.
Do I need an MRI or steroid injection before frozen shoulder physiotherapy?
MRI is not required — clinical diagnosis is the gold standard. Corticosteroid injection is a useful adjunct in Stage 1 (freezing) to break the pain-guarding cycle, but is not mandatory. Hydro-dilatation (radiologist-guided saline injection) has strong 2023 evidence in Stage 2.
Can physiotherapy alone fix frozen shoulder without surgery?
Yes — 96% of frozen shoulder cases resolve with structured physiotherapy over 12-18 months (Codman + IASTM + capsular stretching). Manipulation-under-anaesthesia or arthroscopic capsular release is reserved for the 4% who plateau after 18 months.
