Marma Bandhana for frozen shoulder involves the application of mild, medicated herbal bandages over key marma points around the shoulder. These bandages are customized to reduce inflammation, relieve stiffness, and support joint mobility. The therapy gently activates nerve pathways, improves circulation, and helps restore natural shoulder movement without strain or force.

Frozen Shoulder
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) Treatment
A frozen shoulder, medically known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful and progressive condition that causes stiffness, immobility, and deep discomfort in the shoulder joint. Everyday movements — like wearing clothes, combing hair, or reaching overhead — can become difficult or impossible.
At BJRM Ayurveda, we offer a proven, non-surgical Ayurvedic solution that focuses on the root causes of frozen shoulder — not just symptom suppression. Our specialized treatment protocol combines herbal internal medicine, Marma therapy, Panchakarma detox, and targeted rehabilitation to reduce pain, unlock mobility, and prevent recurrence.
What is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen Shoulder, medically known as Adhesive Capsulitis, is a painful and progressively disabling condition that affects the shoulder joint. It occurs when the capsule—the connective tissue that surrounds the shoulder joint—becomes inflamed, thickened, and tight. Over time, this restricts the joint’s ability to move freely, leading to stiffness, reduced mobility, and chronic pain.
The condition typically develops in stages and can last for several months to years if left untreated. It often begins subtly, with mild pain and difficulty in shoulder movements, but gradually progresses to a point where even simple tasks like reaching overhead or behind the back become difficult.
Freezing Stage (Painful Phase)
- Gradual onset of shoulder pain
- Increasing restriction in movement
- Discomfort intensifies, especially at night or with activity
Frozen Stage (Stiffness Phase)
- Pain may begin to subside
- Marked stiffness in the joint
- Difficulty performing routine tasks such as dressing or lifting
Thawing Stage (Recovery Phase)
- Gradual improvement in mobility
- Discomfort reduces significantly
- Full recovery can take several months to years without treatment
What Causes Frozen Shoulder?
Shoulder injury or trauma
Prolonged immobilization (post-surgery, fracture, or illness)
Diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2)
Thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism)
Hormonal changes (especially in women aged 40–60)
Stroke or neurological conditions affecting shoulder movement
Autoimmune or inflammatory disorders
Post-operative complications affecting shoulder use
Ayurveda’s Understanding of Frozen Shoulder (Avabahuka)
In Ayurveda, frozen shoulder is classified under the condition called Avabahuka, predominantly caused by an aggravation of Vata dosha in the shoulder (Amsa sandhi) region.
According to Ayurvedic principles:
- Vata imbalance leads to dryness, nerve irritation, and contraction of ligaments and joint capsule
- Ama (toxins) accumulate in the joint, leading to inflammation and restricted motion
- Mental or emotional stress may also contribute to Vata imbalance and stiffness
The treatment goal is to balance Vata, remove Ama, reduce inflammation, nourish joint tissues, and restore freedom of movement through personalized therapies.
Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder
Frozen Shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition where the shoulder joint becomes stiff, painful, and gradually loses its range of motion. It typically develops slowly and can significantly impact daily tasks if not treated early.
Common symptoms of Frozen Shoulder include:
- Persistent dull or aching pain in the shoulder
- Inability to fully raise the arm or rotate it outward
- Pain that worsens at night or during cold weather
- Muscle tightness and stiffness around the joint
- Weakness or limited mobility in one arm
- Difficulty with overhead or behind-the-back movements

Discover how BJRM has transformed lives through gentle, effective, and root-cause Ayurvedic treatments
I’m 70 years old and had severe pain in my hips, back, and legs. After visiting BJRM Ayurveda, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both hips. Following the treatment, I’m now able to walk without any support.
Swarnambal
Shankarapura, Bengaluru
I’m 43 years old. I had intense hip pain and numbness running down my leg, and couldn’t sit for more than five minutes. A friend recommended BJRM Ayurveda. The doctor suggested Marma Bandhana, a non-invasive treatment. This is my 11th session out of 15, and I’ve almost fully recovered.
Bhuvanesh
Dommasandra, Bengaluru
I’m 73 years old and had been suffering from bilateral osteoarthritis in both knees for over five years. Nothing worked in allopathy, so I decided to try Ayurvedic treatment at BJRM. After 15 sessions of Marma Bandhana therapy, my knee problem is almost cured. I also had gastric issues and am currently undergoing treatment for that as well.

I was suffering from multiple complications in both my knee joints, including joint effusion and osteoarthritis. I could barely walk. A friend recommended BJRM Ayurveda, and when I visited, the doctor explained everything clearly. They began my treatment, and after 12 sessions, both my knees feel much better.

I had severe shoulder pain — I couldn’t lift my hand at all. After 12 sessions of Marma Bandhana at BJRM, I’ve fully recovered from the pain. I definitely recommend BJRM to others facing similar issues.
