Anita Desai (Changed Name)

Duration

3 month

When 48-year-old Anita Desai walked into Dr RSN Clinic, she couldn’t lift her right arm past shoulder level without sharp pain. A busy schoolteacher who had ignored early signs of shoulder stiffness, Anita was now facing the classic symptoms of frozen shoulder—limited range of motion, constant discomfort, and the frustration of struggling with everyday tasks like wearing clothes or reaching overhead.

Her diagnosis: adhesive capsulitis. The challenge? Regaining mobility while navigating through the pain and inflammation that had been building for nearly six months. Anita feared surgery might be her only option. But at Dr RSN Clinic, we assured her that with the right plan, consistent sessions, and a little patience, full recovery was possible—without going under the knife.

We began with a gentle focus on pain relief using electrotherapy (TENS), moist heat therapy, and soft tissue release to reduce inflammation and calm the surrounding muscles. As pain eased, our therapists introduced passive mobilizations and pendulum exercises to encourage subtle, pain-free movement. Over the weeks, Anita’s sessions evolved. From active-assisted stretches and capsule stretching to isometric strengthening of her rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers, every progression was carefully timed to match her healing phase. Most importantly, she was guided through home-based movement routines that reinforced her in-clinic progress

By week ten, Anita was raising her arm overhead, writing comfortably on the board at school, and sleeping through the night without shoulder pain. Her confidence returned right along with her range of motion.

Frequently asked question

Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a healthcare profession focused on restoring movement, function, and overall well-being through evidence-based techniques. It helps individuals recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and improve mobility using manual therapy, exercise, and specialized treatments.

In most cases, you do not need a doctor's referral to begin physiotherapy. Physiotherapists are primary healthcare providers, meaning you can directly book an appointment without prior approval.

A typical physiotherapy session lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment plan and individual needs. The duration may vary based on the severity of the condition, the techniques used, and the patient's recovery goals.

The number of physiotherapy sessions you need depends on various factors, including the severity of your condition, your body's response to treatment, and your recovery goals. Minor injuries may require just a few sessions to alleviate pain and restore function, while moderate issues typically need a structured approach over several weeks to ensure lasting improvement.
