passive resistance exercises were the key.
I've had it on both shoulders, but the "cacoon" on the right one was "tighter". My mobility was so messed up, I could not do the external rotation AT ALL. I could not raise my arm more than shoulder height. I could not throw a ball, I would break down in tears (remember, 40sth year old man, trying to act tough) if I did so accidentally (small kids and whatnot). I would wake up daily, from pain, 10 times per night, for a better part of the year. It messes you up, physically and mentally. It's basically torture. so I've had extensive physical therapy (3 times, each time 3 weeks, 5 times per weeks, 1.5 hrs daily), with a dedicated therapist "breaking" it up, in every single direction, increasing the pain threshold by 2-3% daily. I know all the muscles of the rotator cuff, just bcs of it.
I could go on about it, but it hurts me to think about that time.
TLDR: don't mess with your joints. Frozen shoulders hurt like a mfer. The recovery is usually around 2 years. 0 reply
