02Your session

Our approach to shoulder rehabilitation.

Frozen shoulder and rotator cuff impingement look similar from the outside — but require completely different approaches.

Diagnosis shapes everything — frozen shoulder and rotator cuff impingement look similar from the outside (painful, restricted movement) but require completely different approaches. Frozen shoulder is staged (freezing, frozen, thawing) and each stage calls for specific treatment. Rotator cuff pathology is load-dependent and responds to graded strengthening.

Stage-specific treatment for frozen shoulder — in the freezing stage, the priority is pain management and gentle range within comfortable limits. In the frozen stage, the capsule work begins: joint mobilisation, specific stretching, manual therapy. In thawing, strengthening and return to full function. Pushing hard in Stage 1 extends the freezing phase.

When clinically indicated, dry needling is included in the session and is not charged separately. Felicia completed GEMt Level 3 (Advanced Dry Needling) training.

03Common questions

Frequently asked.

Straight answers. If anything else comes up, message us on WhatsApp.

01How do I know if I have frozen shoulder or a rotator cuff problem?

The key distinction is the pattern of restriction. Frozen shoulder limits movement in all directions — you can't rotate the arm outward, reach behind your back, or lift overhead. Rotator cuff pain is usually more specific: pain with certain movements (lifting away from body, reaching overhead) but range may be preserved. A clinical assessment will distinguish them clearly.

02Will frozen shoulder resolve on its own without treatment?

Eventually — but it typically takes 1–3 years untreated, and some patients are left with residual stiffness. With stage-appropriate physiotherapy, recovery time shortens to 3–6 months. The earlier the intervention, the more effectively each stage can be managed.

03Should I push through shoulder pain when exercising?

It depends on the type. General background aching during movement is often acceptable — working through some discomfort in frozen shoulder can help. Sharp pain with impingement loading (overhead, internal rotation) should not be pushed through; it indicates a mechanical problem that needs addressing first.

04How long does shoulder rehabilitation take?

Frozen shoulder with physiotherapy: 3–6 months. Rotator cuff tendinopathy: 6–12 weeks. Post-surgical shoulder (e.g. labrum repair, total shoulder replacement): 3–6 months depending on the procedure. Felicia will give you a clear timeline at your first assessment.

zhengfeng boo: Super nice and patient therapist! Finally helped fix my knee problem after 10 years. Will definitely keep coming back.

kevin tan: Felicia was pretty good in her assessment. Managed to find my problem areas after a brief consultation. Will definitely recommend her!

Michelle Loh: Been having nagging pain in my hand and shoulder area from previous injury for weeks. Went in for a session with Felicia to treat the issue. Felicia does genuinely care about long term solutions instead of quick relief. During the consultation, she identified the problematic muscles that have been causing all the pain before patiently explain and walk me through the treatment. She'd check in with me throughout the treatment, making sure it wasn't too much. While performing the dry needling, Felicia was very effective and reassuring. I felt very calm during the whole treatment. Afterwards, she showed me some stretches that I can do on my own post-treatment, to better care for myself. Felicia did let me know the soreness I would experience for 2 days post treatment. The sore feeling took 3 to 4 days to completely resolve but it wasn't bad. The muscle felt a bit tight but it's not painful. It's been a little over a week since and my shoulder/arm feels so much better. I am able to write & use my hand for work.

Yeemun Yong: Can always trust Felicia to ease my body knots and through dry needling the big chunks of muscle tightness and pain are all relieved! The throbbing headache that i had which was caused by my stiff shoulder n neck was gone right after the treatment.. im a big believer of chiro and physio , and she is the first and only physiotherapist i go to in the past 4 years. Can’t thank her enough !

CHEW JIA YUE: One of the most friendly and caring physiotherapist i have been to, very good dry needling skills and relieved my pain, will recommend everyone to go to her.
