Desk workers face rising frozen shoulder risk

Desk-bound workers are increasingly developing frozen shoulder due to prolonged, restricted arm movement, experts warn. This condition, medically known as adhesive capsulitis, often develops subtly without injury, affecting an estimated 2-5% of the population, particularly those with diabetes. Early symptoms like tightness or heaviness are frequently overlooked. Experts emphasize that unexplained shoulder pain warrants timely evaluation, as early intervention can prevent progression. Lifestyle adjustments and physiotherapy are key to recovery, especially for desk-related cases.
