Thaw the Stiffness. Regain Your Range.
Specialized physiotherapy for Frozen Shoulder designed to reduce pain and restore your ability to reach, lift, and sleep comfortably.
Is your shoulder "locked" in place?
Frozen shoulder involves the thickening and tightening of the capsule surrounding your shoulder joint. It often progresses through stages of increasing pain and eventual immobility, making daily life exhausting.
Common Symptoms:
- → Severe pain that is often worse at night, disrupting sleep.
- → Inability to reach behind your back or overhead.
- → A "dull" or "aching" pain in the outer shoulder area.
- → Sudden, sharp pain with even minor reaching movements.

Breaking the Cycle of Stiffness

Joint Mobilization
Gentle, specific movements to improve the glide of the shoulder joint and stretch the tightened capsule.

Pain Management & Education
Strategic advice on sleeping positions and activity modification to settle the "freezing" phase.

Progressive Stretching & Strength
A customized home program to maintain gains made in the clinic and prevent the muscles around the joint from wasting.
Primary Goals: Immediate Benefits of Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is one of the most effective way to achieve rapid change in physical function. It is particularly effective for:

Rapid Pain Reduction
Hands-on treatment targets pain signals in the nervous system, often providing noticeable, immediate relief from stiffness / aches.

Restored Flexibility
Quickly releases restricted joints and muscles, which allows you to achieve a greater range of motion faster than stretching alone.

Improved Movement Confidence
By reducing pain and stiffness, your therapist builds your trust in your body's ability to move, which is essential for successful rehabilitation.

Enhanced Exercise Effectiveness
We use manual therapy to "unlock" a stiff area before exercise, ensuring your stretch & strength training are targeting the right tissues, maximizing your results.

I had a great experience at Lakeside Health and Sport. My physiotherapy assessment with Saurav Roy was excellent. I went in with a right-hand issue and couldn’t lift weights properly, and he made noticeable progress in just one session. I also had a 60-minute massage with Jordan Trivino, who was very professional and focused exactly on the tight areas. I left feeling much better. Highly recommend both!![]()

What a great experience with Dr. Saurav, after trying three different Phisio clinics, I’m happy to have landed something so close to home where Mary at the front desk takes care of me like I’m family and Dr. Saurav treats my Phisio needs with impeccable detail, where he has treated and found areas of concern that other do not even look at. From the initial consultation to only my second appointment I feel a difference and have hope that I’ll be able to run my next marathon in the not to distant future!! Thank you to all the staff at Lakeside Physiotherapy!!![]()

Jane So is the most attentive physiotherapist I’ve ever been too! She asked lots of questions and manipulated my leg and sore knee in many ways and asked for feedback to understand the underlying cause of my pain. Well, I had been suffering for weeks, and within days of following the exercises and other instructions I felt much better.![]()

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does frozen shoulder last?
Without treatment, it can last 1–3 years. Physiotherapy aims to shorten the duration and preserve as much motion as possible during the process
Can I just 'stretch it out' at home?
Aggressive stretching can sometimes make the inflammatory phase worse. We teach you exactly how much to push
Is it related to my rotator cuff?
While they are different issues, a rotator cuff injury can sometimes lead to frozen shoulder if the arm isn’t moved enough
