Summary
This study tests whether a manual therapy technique called intercostal mulligan mobilization can reduce pain and improve shoulder movement in women who have had a mastectomy. Forty participants, aged 40-60, will receive either this technique plus standard exercises or standard exercises alone. The goal is to see if this gentle approach helps with common post-surgery shoulder issues.
