🦾🧊 *“Stiff Shoulder Slowing You Down? Unlock the Secrets Behind the Pain!”* 🧊🦿 
A stiff shoulder can turn simple tasks like reaching for a shelf or dressing into challenges. But did you know it’s rarely *just* about aging? Let’s decode the **#StiffShoulderCauses** and reclaim your mobility! 

💡 **Top Causes of Stiff Shoulder:** 
👉 **Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)**: Thickened joint capsule restricting movement. 🧊🔒 
👉 **Rotator Cuff Injury**: Tears or inflammation in shoulder tendons. 🏋️♂️💥 
👉 **Arthritis**: Degenerative joint wear or autoimmune inflammation. 🦴⚠️ 
👉 **Poor Posture**: Slouching at desks or while using phones. 🪑📱 
👉 **Overuse/Repetitive Strain**: Heavy lifting, sports, or manual labor. 🏋️♀️🔧 
👉 **Trauma**: Falls, fractures, or post-surgery stiffness. 🚑🩹 

🛑 **Relief & Prevention Tips:** 
✅ **Gentle Stretches**: Pendulum swings, cross-body stretches, and towel exercises. 🧘♀️✨ 
✅ **Posture Correction**: Keep screens at eye level, avoid slumping! 🖥️👀 
✅ **Heat/Ice Therapy**: Warm compresses to loosen muscles, ice for swelling. 🔥❄️ 
✅ **Strengthening**: Light resistance bands for rotator cuff stability. 💪 
✅ **Avoid Overexertion**: Modify repetitive tasks and heavy lifting. 🚫 

⚠️ **When to See a Specialist?** 
- Inability to lift arm above shoulder level 
- Persistent pain disrupting sleep or daily activities 
- Sudden weakness/numbness in the arm 
- History of diabetes (linked to frozen shoulder) 🩸
