Adhesive capsulitis is characterized by painful restriction of shoulder movement. Management includes corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation, NSAIDs for pain, and manipulation under anesthesia or mobilization to improve range of motion. Physiotherapy goals are to reduce pain through ultrasound, mobilization, and stretching, improve range of motion through passive, active assisted, and active exercises, and strengthen muscles with isometrics, rotator cuff exercises, and scapular exercises. A home program including pendular exercises and aquatic therapy is also recommended.
