How do I recover from a frozen shoulder?

Confidence: Method practice

A frozen shoulder usually starts with pain - you begin sparing the arm, moving it less and less, and the joint gradually "freezes". The worst thing for it is to stop moving completely; the best is gentle, patient movement within the range you have today. Not to conquer the shoulder - to convince it, through pleasant sensations, that moving is safe again.

How Gravity Stretching helps

Supported stretches and soft hangs let the shoulder reclaim its range without any forcing: the lianas carry the weight, so the joint can move without bracing. We work with the whole body, not just the shoulder - when the chest, back and neck release, the shoulder gets room to breathe too. And we go by the first levels only: to the edge of comfort, relax, step back, repeat.

Tell your trainer about the shoulder beforehand and give it time - this one rewards patience. Session by session the range comes back, and one day you notice the arm just went up on its own.
