Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Diagnosed with scapulocostal syndrome by using Scapular Compression Test: Stabilizing the scapula during movement can alleviate symptoms if scapular instability is contributing. (Unilateral or Bilateral) 2. Presence of self-reported shoulder girdle dysfunction as indicated by a minimum score of 20% disability on the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). 3. Report a minimum pain intensity of 4 and maximum 8 on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) in the last 7 days. 4. willing to provide informed consent and adhere to the study protocol. 5. Participants with intact neuromuscular control and no evidence of upper motor neuron lesion.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1.Individuals with cervical radiculopathy, thoracic outlet syndrome, cervical spondylosis, or intervertebral disc pathology confirmed clinically. 2.Patients presenting with rotator cuff injuries, adhesive capsulitis, subacromial impingement, or any post-traumatic shoulder pathology will be excluded, as these conditions may independently alter scapular mechanics. 3.Patients who have received corticosteroid injections, or analgesic therapy within the past two weeks. 4.Subjects with spinal deformities (e.g., scoliosis, kyphosis) or significant postural deviations that affect scapular alignment will not be included. 5.Pregnant or lactating women, and individuals with systemic illnesses affecting musculoskeletal health (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)
