Should You Stretch a Frozen Shoulder? Why Timing Matters
"Should I be stretching it?" is one of the first questions people with frozen shoulder ask me. The answer depends on where your shoulder is right now.

Later on, the same stretch can be exactly what your shoulder needs. In the full article, I explain the signs that your shoulder isn't ready for strong stretching yet, the signs that it is, and why your shoulder blade and spine matter as much as the joint itself.
