Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Hamilton

Frozen shoulder causes significant stiffness, pain, and loss of shoulder mobility. Early physiotherapy can help improve movement, reduce pain, and speed up recovery.

When Should You See a Physiotherapist for Shoulder Pain?

You should seek physiotherapy if your shoulder pain lasts more than a few days, keeps returning, limits your movement, affects your sleep, or interferes with work, exercise, sports, or daily activities. Early treatment can help prevent chronic pain and improve recovery outcomes.
