    Frozen shoulder

    Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is a condition where the shoulder joint becomes progressively stiff and painful, making everyday tasks like reaching, dressing, or sleeping on that side extremely difficult. While the shoulder joint itself is the primary site, spinal and neck tension — which builds as the body compensates for the restricted arm — can significantly worsen the experience. Virginia addresses this spinal and cervical component to reduce your overall pain and improve function during recovery.

    How ASMI works

    What you might notice

    • Increasing shoulder stiffness over weeks or months
    • Pain at night, particularly when lying on the affected side
    • Difficulty reaching above the head or behind the back
    • Muscle tightness in the neck and upper back from compensating
    • A dull, constant ache in the shoulder

    How Virginia can help

    • ASMI addresses the cervical and thoracic tension that builds as frozen shoulder progresses
    • Reduces compensatory muscle spasm in the neck, upper back, and opposite shoulder
    • Very gentle — sessions are adapted to your current pain levels and sensitivity
    • Supports the shoulder's natural recovery process by keeping the surrounding area mobile
    • Works alongside any physiotherapy or medical treatment for the shoulder itself

    Frequently asked questions

    Is spinal therapy a direct treatment for frozen shoulder?
    Virginia works on the spinal and cervical component of frozen shoulder rather than the joint capsule itself. Physiotherapists or orthopaedic specialists address the shoulder directly. The two approaches complement each other well.
    Frozen shoulder lasts for years — will therapy make any difference?
    Frozen shoulder typically has three phases: freezing, frozen, and thawing — and the overall trajectory is towards recovery. Spinal therapy cannot speed up the phases of the shoulder itself, but it can significantly reduce the collateral pain and restriction caused by compensatory patterns in the neck and upper back.
    How long does each session last?
    Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes. Virginia will tailor the length and intensity to where you are in your frozen shoulder journey and how you're feeling on the day.
