Physical therapy is a medical procedure used to treat and rehabilitate physical disabilities, pain, and any type of complication or injury in the body. It is primarily administered by specially trained physical therapists and uses a variety of methods and techniques.

So the importance of physical exercise is immense for many reasons. It improves health, mental health, physical fitness, weight control, long-term health benefits. So physical exercise is very important for health and it benefits both physically and mentally.

What's frozen shoulder? Write in your own words after getting knowledge from the lesson post.

There are total 206 bones in our human body. Now by frozen shoulder I mean, frozen shoulder is a disease that causes stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. This results in a gradual loss of shoulder mobility and may eventually become completely stiff. This condition is usually caused by thickening of the shoulder joint capsule. which is caused by inflammation of the connective tissue. However, frozen shoulder is divided into three stages as shown in the table below.

Freezing Stage	In this stage pain gradually increases and shoulder movement becomes limited.
Frozen Stage	The shoulder becomes very stiff and the pain may decrease somewhat, but the movement of the shoulder is further reduced.
Thawing Stage	In this stage shoulder mobility begins to slowly return.

Frozen shoulder is most common between the ages of 40 and 60 and is relatively more common in women. So this is frozen shoulder.

How would you diagnose a frozen shoulder? Any clinical investigation or assessment tests?

First of all, I am not a doctor, I only learned about frozen shoulder from our teacher's course. So here are some steps to follow to diagnose frozen shoulder which are usually done under the supervision of a doctor. Below are the steps for proper diagnosis.

• I will observe the symptoms first. The main symptoms of frozen shoulder are gradually increasing pain in the shoulder and limitation of shoulder movement. If it is difficult to rotate or lift the shoulder and this problem lasts for several weeks to months, then it may be a sign of frozen shoulder.

• Physical examination of the patient. Because all doctors usually test shoulder range of motion and strength. This means that there is a problem in the movement of the shoulder in some direction. X-rays will then be used to diagnose bone problems and rule out other problems.

I would like to know the clinical history or previous medical history. Because all doctors will want to know your history of previous injuries, arthritis or diabetes. Because these conditions can increase the risk of frozen shoulder. However, it is very important to consult an experienced doctor to properly diagnose frozen shoulder.

Try to practice at least 3 exercises that you have learned from the lesson. Share images, gifs or videos while practising.

I like to do practical. So in this step I am going to share with you all my physical exercises to fix a frozen shoulder. Our teacher showed some physical exercises. That's why out of his highlighted list of exercises I decided to go for the three below and also demonstrate how I practiced them. I have made a video of them and added the YouTube link.

1st practice	Wand Shoulder Flexion

• The stick shoulder flexion exercise is a beneficial stretching exercise for frozen shoulder that helps increase shoulder mobility. For this a long stick or stick like a small piece of bamboo should be taken. I took the exercise dumbbells I had with me. Then I held both ends of the stick with both hands. I put both hands shoulder width apart. Keep your back straight and breathe normally. Then slowly lift the stick up from the front until I feel a stretch in my shoulders. But try to lift the stick as far as you can comfortably but don't strain if it hurts. See the video below as an example.
