Summary

This study tests whether a combination of special joint mobilizations, pain education, and core exercises can reduce pain and improve shoulder function in people with frozen shoulder. Thirty-six adults with the condition will be randomly assigned to either this new program or standard physical therapy for six weeks. Researchers will measure pain, range of motion, and quality of life before and after treatment.
