The second stage witnesses a loss of pain with little loss in the range of motion, this stage is known as the pink phase. Known as the white phase, the third stage involves the gradual return of range of motion. Each step can last around 6-8 months when the condition goes untreated.

Inward rotation exercise can be done with the affected hand to ensure a quick recovery.

Relaxation techniques should only be performed by qualified and well-trained physiotherapists to avoid any mishaps.
