There are specific exercises you can do for a frozen shoulder. You can do them several times per day. The idea is to mobilize and strengthen the ligaments and surrounding muscles but not strain and inflame them. Since everyone is different and each condition is unique, use common sense and trust how your shoulder feels while doing the exercises and afterwards as well.
You should do a range of motion exercises and ice and heat daily but it will still take weeks to months to fix.
I have worked successfully on many frozen shoulders. Success can come in days or never fully recover. I don't do hard, forceful and panful manipulation. I work with quickness and finesse. I try to minimize pain. The amount of success depends on the cause of the condition, how long it has been there, how contentious the individual is with following advice and type of previous treatment. I usually recommend a combination of dynamic range of motion and contrast therapy which is Ice followed by wet heat (wet towel, shower or jacuzzi). Chiropractic, Physical Therapy and Massage are helpful.
