Adhesive capsulitis is the technical name for what most people know as a frozen shoulder. It’s a common cause of shoulder pain and loss of motion less commonly seen in athletes compared to the overall population.
You might first notice pain with activities that comes on over time. You might not realize that you have less shoulder motion at first. Frequently people develop pain and respond by using their affected shoulder less, which in turn leads to increased stiffness of that shoulder, which leads to even more pain, and so on.
