Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Vellore
A painful, stiff shoulder that limits reaching overhead, behind your back, or across your chest — often worse at night.
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is inflammation and thickening of the shoulder capsule. It progresses through freezing, frozen, and thawing phases and can take 12–24 months to fully resolve without care. Well-timed physiotherapy shortens this significantly.
Symptoms we look for
- Deep, dull ache in the shoulder
- Difficulty reaching a back pocket or bra strap
- Pain that wakes you at night when lying on that side
- Loss of both active and passive movement
- Compensatory neck and upper-back pain
Benefits
- •Gentle, frequent range-of-motion drills
- •Warmth before movement
- •Blood-sugar control (if diabetic)
Trade-offs
- •Aggressive stretching that spikes pain
- •Sudden overhead lifts
- •Sleeping directly on the sore side

"Home-visit physiotherapy for my grandmother — bed-bound with frozen shoulder. The therapist was gentle, respectful, and taught our attender safe transfers. Family peace of mind is priceless. Charges are very reasonable for Vellore."
Senthil R.Bagayam, Vellore - Aug 2025
"Was skeptical about physiotherapy for frozen shoulder — thought only rest or surgery would help. After a 45-minute assessment I understood exactly what was wrong and what to do. Symptoms reduced by 70% in one month. Wish I had come earlier."
Deepa G.Ambur, Vellore - Dec 2025
"Booked a home visit for my mother's frozen shoulder in Chittoor. One-on-one attention, honest pricing, no unnecessary sessions. WhatsApp reminders and follow-ups made the recovery smooth. Highly recommend for anyone looking for evidence-based physio in Vellore."

"a 63-year-old here from Arakkonam. Had chronic frozen shoulder for over a year. What worked was pain-education plus graded exercise, not endless machines. Now I sleep through the night and go for morning walks pain-free."
Sowmya T.Arakkonam, Vellore - May 2026
"Sports injury from local cricket — my frozen shoulder was ruining my season. The return-to-sport protocol here is elite: force-plate testing, criteria-based progression, sport-specific drills. Back on the field in 6 weeks, stronger than before."
Aishwarya M.Thorapadi, Vellore - Sep 2026
"My son's school in Katpadi recommended this clinic for his frozen shoulder. The paediatric therapist made every session fun for him. Parents get a home program too. In 8 weeks the difference is dramatic."
Bhuvana N.Katpadi, Vellore - Sep 2025
"As a 28-year-old from Walajapet, I struggled with frozen shoulder for months before coming here. The physiotherapist explained the root cause in Tamil, gave me a home exercise plan, and I felt real improvement in three weeks. Best decision I made this year."
Rajesh B.Walajapet, Vellore - May 2026
"Post-surgery rehab for frozen shoulder was handled beautifully. Coordinated directly with my surgeon at CMC. Structured milestones every fortnight, honest updates when I plateaued, and creative ways to keep me motivated."
