Prolonged periods of inactivity or immobilization, such as wearing a sling after surgery or injury, can lead to stiffness and adhesions in the shoulder joint capsule.

Previous shoulder injuries or trauma, including fractures or dislocations, can trigger inflammation and scar tissue formation, contributing to frozen shoulder.

Certain medical conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or autoimmune diseases may increase the risk of developing frozen shoulder due to their effects on connective tissues and joint health.

Frozen shoulder tends to occur more frequently in individuals aged 40 to 60 and is more common in women than men.

In some cases, the exact cause of frozen shoulder remains unknown, and it may develop spontaneously without any apparent trigger.

Engage in regular shoulder exercises and stretches to maintain flexibility and range of motion, especially if you have a sedentary lifestyle or work at a desk.

If you have undergone shoulder surgery or experienced an injury, follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations for rehabilitation exercises and avoid prolonged immobilization to prevent stiffness and adhesions.

If you have diabetes, thyroid disorders, or other medical conditions associated with frozen shoulder, work closely with your healthcare provider to manage these conditions effectively and reduce the risk of developing shoulder stiffness.

Maintain proper posture and avoid slouching or hunching forward, which can put strain on the shoulder joint and contribute to stiffness.

If you are starting a new exercise or physical activity regimen, gradually increase the intensity and duration to prevent overloading the shoulder joint and exacerbating stiffness.

If you experience shoulder pain or stiffness that persists or worsens over time, seek prompt medical attention to prevent further progression of frozen shoulder and facilitate early intervention and treatment.

Performing repetitive motions with the arms and shoulders, such as lifting heavy objects or participating in sports activities, can lead to inflammation and irritation of the tendons.

Slouching or hunching forward can put strain on the shoulder tendons, leading to overuse injuries and tendinitis.

Weakness or tightness in certain muscle groups surrounding the shoulder joint can alter biomechanics and contribute to tendinitis.

As we age, tendons become less flexible and more prone to injury, increasing the risk of developing shoulder tendinitis.

Direct trauma to the shoulder, such as a fall or impact injury, can damage the tendons and lead to inflammation and pain.
