Official Title: COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF HIGH-VELOCITY LOW-AMPLITUDE (HVLA) THRUST AND MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUE (MET) ON SHOULDER MOBILITY AND PAIN IN PATIENTS WITH ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS

Brief Summary: This study compared the effects of High-Velocity Low-Amplitude (HVLA) thrust and Post-Isometric Relaxation Muscle Energy Technique (PIR-MET) on pain and shoulder mobility in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Sixty-six participants received either HVLA or PIR-MET with conventional physiotherapy for four weeks. Both treatments improved pain and range of motion, but PIR-MET showed significantly greater improvement, making it a more effective approach for managing frozen shoulder symptoms.
