Yoga for Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder is a condition in which tissues become inflamed and cause extreme pain while lifting or moving the arm in certain directions. Excessive use of a shoulder joint is thought to lead to this condition.

To avoid the pain, sufferers try not to move arms at all. This may lead to adverse consequences. When the joint is not used in the correct frequency, the Luis Costa unused ligaments and tissues can stiffen. The pain and stiffness can become chronic, making life very difficult during one’s advanced years. Antiinflammatory drugs can cause the acute phase to subside, but episodes of this condition generally recur. In some cases, the biceps actually tear and require surgical repair.
