Summary
This study tests a manual therapy technique called intercostal mulligan mobilization to reduce shoulder pain and improve range of motion in women who had a mastectomy at least 3 months ago. Forty participants will receive either this therapy plus standard exercises or exercises alone. The goal is to see if the hands-on approach helps more than exercises alone.
