The primary symptom is persistent pain that lasts weeks to years.

Myotherapy for Frozen Shoulder issues?
MyoActive Myotherapists are trained to thoroughly assess pain and will put together an individualised strength and rehabilitation treatment plan to help relieve pain and restore normal function and movement.
A massage or myotherapy session for frozen shoulder pain can help decrease pain, decrease tension and reduce stress.
Treatment involves stretching and sometimes injecting corticosteroids and numbing medication into the joint capsule. In some cases, surgery is used to loosen the joint capsule.
Many physiological effects occur during massage for joint pain, the most common being increased temperature, the removal of waste products and increased endorphins, serotonin and dopamine.
Massage also enhances blood flow and thus can aid in the removal of excess lactic acid from muscles, thereby helping alleviate muscle pain.
