Conditions

Health Condition 1: M750- Adhesive capsulitis of shoulder

Interventions

Intervention1: Gongs mobilization: The subject will be placed in a side-lying position with the affected shoulder joint facing upward. The patient’s shoulder will be abducted at 90° to maintain the hu
the whole manoeuvre lasts roughly 2–3 minutes. The therapist will use one hand to press the shoulder joint from anterior to posterior after slightly extending the articular capsule. This will prevent
glenohumeral postero-anterior glide. Passive oscillatory movements will be performed at the rate of 2-3 glides per second for 30 seconds for each glide given for 5 sets with 1 minute rest between sets
