FAQ

Common questions

Should I rest my shoulder completely?

Complete rest can make the shoulder stiffer. We show you which movements are safe while it heals.

How is this different from frozen shoulder?

Frozen shoulder makes the joint very stiff in every direction. Other shoulder pain usually limits only some movements. Your assessment tells which you have.

Can I sleep on the painful side?

It is often uncomfortable. Sleeping on your back or other side, with a pillow supporting the arm, usually helps.
