How to cure frozen shoulder quickly? Techniques from Singapore Experts

July 19, 2025

Shoulder pain that come suddenly in the morning and worsen as the day goes on or restricted lifting of the arms are symptoms suggestive of frozen shoulder. It is a rather common disorder, especially among those between 40 and 60 years of age, but here’s the silver lining: you need not suffer all by yourself.

In this blog article, the team of physiotherapy experts at Rapid Physiocare in Singapore discusses the causes, phases, and treatments for fast healing of frozen shoulder at home and in the clinic.

What is Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder, medically known as adhesive capsulitis, happens when the capsule surrounding shoulder joint thickens and tightens, leading to pain and a reduced range of motion. If left untreated, it could turn into serious stiffness-rising to the stubbornness of any ordinary task such as dressing up or reaching overhead.

Frozen Shoulder Symptoms to Watch For:

Early Diagnosis Leads to Fast Recovery

A dull or aching pain in one shoulder, stiffness usually in the morning or after rest, inability to lift the arm or rotate the shoulder functionally, and disturbance during sleep mostly on the affected side- are all common frozen shoulder symptoms that should be looked out for!

In case of such symptoms, consulting a physiotherapist immediately becomes the priority.

Frozen Shoulder Stages: The Phases

Usually, the condition goes through three frozen shoulder stages that last for several weeks to months:

1.Freezing Stage: Increasing pain and stiffness motion is limited.

2.Frozen Stage: The pain gradually eases, but the stiffness in shoulder still persists. Difficulties with everyday activities.

3.Thawing Stage: Slowly regaining mobility with less pain.

Knowledge of the stages of a frozen shoulder helps to set realistic expectations with regard to recovery and to lay down a plan for treatment.

Is Frozen Shoulder Permanent?

In a short response: No. But without the right treatment, a frozen shoulder can last up to 3 years of its own accord. With the right treatment, however, the timeframe can be considerably shortened.

While there is no instant cure, recovery can be achieved faster through some evidence-based approaches:

1. Physiotherapy: Your First Line of Defense

At Rapid Physiocare, we perform frozen shoulder physiotherapy with attention to the following:

Manual therapy for relieving joint tightness
Specific stretching exercises
Ultrasound therapy to reduce inflammation
Joint mobilization techniques

Most patients in Singapore, traumatized for the first time under a consistent physiotherapy program, will start feeling better in weeks.

2. Frozen Shoulder Exercises to Do Daily

Receiving proper instruction on frozen shoulder exercises remains important in regaining movement and may include:

Pendulum swings
Towel stretch
Cross-body arm stretch
Wall climbing (using the fingers to “walk” the arm upward)

Be cautious and avoid any overexertion or injury by performing all exercises under a therapist’s supervision.

3. Frozen Shoulder Sleeping Position Tips

Shoulder pain during nighttime is very frustrating. These tips can help you improve your frozen shoulder sleeping position:

Sleep on your healthy side with a pillow supporting the affected arm.
Use a wedge or pillow to elevate your upper body.
Do not lie flat or on the affected side.

The smallest adjustments can really work toward comfort and healing.

4. Home Remedies for Frozen Shoulder

While professional care remains paramount, some home remedies for frozen shoulder provide extra comfort:

Heat pack for improved circulation before exercise
Cold pack for swelling reduction after exercise
Anti-inflammatory foods such as turmeric, ginger, and omega-3-rich varieties
Gentle stretching several times throughout the day

Consistency outweighs intensity.

Frozen Shoulder vs Rotator Cuff Tear: Know the Difference

Both conditions affect shoulder but have different causes and treatments.

Aspect	Frozen Shoulder	Rotator Cuff Tear
Cause	Tight joint capsule	Tendon injury or tear
Pain	Dull, gradually worsening	Sharp, sudden during activity
Movement	Severely limited	Painful but possible
Treatment	Stretching, mobility	Rest, strengthening

If you’re unsure which you have, a physiotherapist can assess your condition and recommend the right treatment plan.
