Summary

This study tested whether adding gentle neck and upper back manual therapy to a standard exercise program helps people with shoulder impingement syndrome. Fifty-six adults with persistent shoulder pain for 3 to 6 months took part. The goal was to see if this combined approach reduces pain and improves shoulder movement and strength better than exercise alone.
