Patients will attend 1-hour physical therapy sessions twice weekly for 6 weeks. The program will include posterior capsule mobilization, scapular stabilization using pressure biofeedback (targeting lower trapezius, latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, deep cervical flexors, and scapular retractors), and strengthening exercises using therabands: external rotation, shoulder diagonals, rows, and extensions. Additional training will involve physioball scapular exercises (up/down \& side/side), prone scapular strengthening (e.g., TYI, superman), and scapular-clock drills to improve mobility, proprioception, and stability.

Patients will receive cryotherapy and perform stretching exercises for the pectoralis minor and posterior capsule. Strengthening exercises using theraband will target the rotator cuff (especially external rotators) and scapular depressors/retractors. Scapular stabilization will be trained through prone exercises on a ball (T, Y, W) and on a plinth, including rowing, horizontal abduction, extension, superman, and TYI exercises. Additionally, patients will perform the scapular-clock exercise to enhance mobility, control, and proprioception.
