Supercharge Your Frozen Shoulder Exercise

Most frozen shoulder exercise programs are performed in routines 3 times a day. However if the patient is not getting sufficient ROM gains then I would recommend a different attack. Try 8-10 times a day, however with significantly shorter exercise sessions. This allows the shoulder not to tighten up between exercises and often makes the exercise less painful and with less soreness afterwards. Always remember to warm the shoulder with moist heat prior to each session and ice after each session, particularly if you are prone to inflammation. The heat should be applied for approximately 20 minutes for maximum heat depth with a temperature that is very warm but of course not enough to burn the skin. Ice on the other hand should be applied for 15 minutes at a time. Gel packs are ideal as they conform to the shoulder nicely. Completely rest the shoulder in between these frequent but short sessions. The best frozen shoulder exercise will not do any good if not performed correctly.
