Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Pain score on Visual analog scale
The intensity of pain will be reported by the participant on a visual analog scale ranging from 0 to 10. Zero indicates no pain anywhere and 10 indicates the most pain ever experienced.
5 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Pressure Pain Threshold as a measure by pressure algometry
5 weeks
Anxiety on State Anxiety Inventory
5 weeks
Scapular range of motion
5 weeks
Patient satisfaction level
5 weeks
Study Arms (2)
Scapular mobilization
EXPERIMENTALThe participants will receive a twenty minutes session of scapular mobilization onto the scapular
Control
NO INTERVENTIONRest on the bed for twenty minutes

- The participants will be able to follow instructions.
- Good communication and cooperation.
You may not qualify if:
- Shoulder impingement syndrome
- Adhesive capsulitis
- Shoulder instability
- Shoulder arthritides
- Shoulder dislocation and/or bone fracture
- Hypermobility of shoulder joint
- Open wound
