Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Cornwall

Regain Movement and Reduce Pain

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) can be a frustrating and painful condition. It develops gradually, often without a clear cause, and can make simple movements like reaching, dressing, or sleeping extremely difficult. At Kernow Physio, we specialise in helping people across Cornwall overcome frozen shoulder through expert assessment, tailored treatment, and guided rehabilitation.

How We Assess Frozen Shoulder

At your first appointment, we’ll:

• Take a detailed history of your symptoms and health background
• Assess your shoulder mobility, strength, and posture
• Identify whether your symptoms are consistent with frozen shoulder or another condition (such as rotator cuff injury)
• Explain the diagnosis and create a clear, personalised treatment plan

Personalised Treatment Options

At Kernow Physio, every treatment plan is guided by evidence-based practice — meaning the latest clinical research, our specialist expertise, and your personal goals all shape your care. Because frozen shoulder progresses through different stages, treatment is always tailored to your current needs.

Your programme may include:

• Joint mobilisation & manual therapy – targeted techniques to improve movement, ease stiffness, and, where appropriate, gently stretch the joint capsule to restore mobility
• Massage & soft tissue release – reducing pain and improving circulation
• Acupuncture or electrotherapy – to relieve discomfort and promote healing
• Targeted exercise programmes – gradually restoring mobility, strength, and control
• Pilates & posture correction – helping support your shoulder and upper back
• Education & self-management – giving you the tools to maintain progress at home

Because each treatment starts with a comprehensive assessment, we can adapt your plan as your shoulder improves — ensuring that every step of your recovery is effective, safe, and aligned with the best available evidence.
