Can Yoga & Meditation can help manage Frozen Shoulder?

Yoga and meditation can help manage frozen shoulder: 

  • Yoga asanas

Yoga can help relieve frozen shoulder by improving mobility, increasing muscle strength, and strengthening ligaments. Some yoga poses that can help with frozen shoulder include: 

  • Lifting and lowering the shoulders: Inhale while lifting the shoulders and exhale while slowly lowering them. Repeat 5-6 times. 
  • Shoulder rotations: Rotate the shoulders clockwise and counterclockwise 5-6 times to improve blood circulation and reduce muscle stress. 
  • Interlocking fingers: Inhale while interlacing the fingers, looking up, and raising the arms. Exhale while coming up and relaxing. Repeat 5-6 times. 

  • Savasana variation with cactus arms: Lie on your back and place your arms into a cactus position. Use a pillow, block, or bolster under the affected arm if needed. Gently press the back of your arms into the floor or prop. 
  • Pre-yoga preparation

Before practicing yoga, lie on a foam roller or therapeutic ball, lift your arms overhead, and gently rock for a couple of minutes
