New combo therapy eases frozen shoulder pain and movement

This study tested whether adding Niel Asher Technique (a type of massage) and scapular clock exercises to standard physical therapy helps people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Thirty-four adults aged 40-55 with stage II or III frozen shoulder took part. One group received the extra treatments plus standard care, while the other had standard care alone. After 4 weeks, the researchers measured pain, range of motion, and daily function to see if the combo worked better.
