8-16 months: Whether you participate in physical therapy or not, a frozen shoulder can take up to a year and a half to resolve. The initial inflammation may not last long, but the stiffness can. Forcing the shoulder to move too early does not necessarily speed up recovery. Sometimes, the frozen shoulder is associated with rotator cuff tears or repairs, which is a different situation altogether.
