Summary

This study compares two non-surgical treatments—Mulligan mobilization (a type of joint movement therapy) and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (sound waves)—for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Sixty adults aged 40-60 with shoulder stiffness and pain for at least 3 months will be treated and measured for pain, range of motion, disability, tissue thickness, and grip strength. The goal is to see which therapy better eases symptoms and improves shoulder function.
