Frozen Shoulder or Rotator Cuff Problem? Know the Difference. 🏋️♂️
Both can cause shoulder pain and limited movement, but they’re not the same.
🔹Frozen Shoulder: Thicknening of the connective tissue capsule, causing stiffness in 3 different stages (Freezing stage 2-9mths -> Frozen Stage 4-12mths -> Thawing stage 5-24mths)
🔹 Rotator cuffs: Damage to the group of muscles and tendons, causing pain at a particular range, and weaknesses, usually aggravated with lifting the arm, reaching behind your back etc.
Knowing the difference can help you get the right treatment and recovery plan.
Don’t ignore persistent shoulder pain. Get it assessed.
