Clinical evidence consistently indicates that physical therapy, stretching, and manual mobilization effectively treat frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) by reducing pain and improving mobility and functional status.
The retrieved literature repeatedly supports the efficacy of physical therapy, manual mobilization, and supervised rehabilitation in improving range of motion, reducing pain, and restoring function in patients with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Multiple clinical trials and reviews demonstrate these benefits, and none of the retrieved studies refute the overall effectiveness of physical therapy.
