Interventions
Niel-Asher Technique + sleeper stretch
Niel-Asher Technique, Manual Soft Tissue releaser, Neuro-muscular release technique for adhesive capsulitis ( This manual technique will be applied for 3 days a week for 4 weeks).Sleeper stretch will be applied passively by investigator, pressure of the stretch will be held for 30 seconds (repeated twice with 30 seconds break for 3 days a week) Conventional PT including 1: shoulder anteroposterior, posteroanterior and inferior glides ( 3 times a week for 4 week) 2: active and active assisted ROM exercises of shoulder joint (frequency: 1 set of 10 repetitions twice a day). 3: Shoulder Isometric exercises, Codman's exercises and pulley and finger ladder exercises (frequency: 1 set of 10 repetitions twice a day), 4: trigger points will be released by applying ischemic pressure (90 seconds) on trigger points found in rotator cuff muscles.
sleeper stretch + Conventional Treatment
Sleeper stretch will be applied passively by investigator, pressure of the stretch will be held for 30 seconds (repeated twice with 30 seconds break for 3 days a week). Conventional PT including 1: shoulder anteroposterior, posteroanterior and inferior glides ( 3 times a week for 4 week) 2: active and active assisted ROM exercises of shoulder joint (frequency: 1 set of 10 repetitions twice a day). 3: Shoulder Isometric exercises, Codman's exercises and pulley and finger ladder exercises (frequency: 1 set of 10 repetitions twice a day) 4: ischemic compression (90seconds hold) on trigger points found in rotator cuff muscles
