I asked my PT about your frozen shoulder. He said that usually it takes about 8 months so at least you have some idea. The object is to have your frozen shoulder begin to melt.

You may not need to do the pain route. It may actually be more beneficial to not stress but rather stretch. When I come to a point where I may feel pain, I am to back off. The muscle needs to stretch not tighten from pain.

My guy started with passive stretching. In other words, he moved my shoulder. But first, he just had me on my back and gave a massage to check the tightness.

This sure sounds a bit "wrong" as I type it.
