This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

Shoulder stiffness after surgery is very common. It can be overcome by physiotherapy and excercise. It will take some more time to get complete movement at the shoulder. And there are high chances of getting some residual stiffness there after.
Next Steps
