About this episode

When a patient presents with a potential frozen shoulder, what other differential diagnoses must be considered? Find out in this podcast with Jo Gibson (Upper Limb Rehabilitation Specialist Physio), exploring the case study of a patient diagnosed with "frozen shoulder" with symptoms that don't quite match a typical frozen shoulder. What's the diagnosis of this patient's stiff shoulder?

You'll also discover whether an X-ray or imaging is required when a patient presents with a stiff or frozen shoulder.
