Background and purpose: Frozen shoulder is one of the most common conditions encountered by persons where there is global restrictions of the range of motion of shoulder joint There has been little evidence that alone GH mobilization is effective but shoulder complex mobilization will be more fruitful This study was done to check whether whole shoulder complex (Acromioclavicular joint, sternoclavicular joint, scapulothoracic joint and glenohumeral joint) mobilization is effective. Outcome measures: 1) SPADI: shoulder pain and disability index: - to assess the pain and disability of patient 2) VAS: visual analogue scale: - to asses pain Method: 15 participants were recruited for the study. All the participants were screened for inclusion criteria. Participants following into inclusion criteria were recruited for the study then were assessed for pre intervention And then were given treatment in the form of Shoulder complex mobilization along with exercises and IFT All the participants were treated for 4 weeks. All the participants were then assessed for outcome measures pre and post intervention. Result: All the participants showed significant improvement in improving function and reduction of pain in frozen shoulder with statistical significance in VAS with p=0.036 and SPADI with p=0.000, Conclusion: The study concluded that that statistically & clinically shoulder complex (AC, SC, ST, SC joint) mobilization are more effective in improving pain and function in patients with frozen shoulder.
