Background: Adhesive Capsulitis is a clinical syndrome of pain and severely decreased joint motion. The primary goal in this condition is mainly to improve ROM, pain and decrease disability. In many physical therapy programs for the subject with frozen shoulder, mobilization and manipulation technique are an important part of the intervention. Objective: The objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of Gong’s mobilization and Cyriax manipulation (deep friction massage) in subjects with frozen shoulder. Method: 30 subjects were included in the study. Each subject was assigned in to two groups by convenient sampling, one group treated with Gong’s mobilization and another group receives Cyriax manipulation. The duration of treatment was 2 weeks (6 sessions) in both groups. Primary outcome measure included ROM by Goniometer and SPADI for a functional deficit. Result: Analysis using unpaired t-test and Mann-Whitney U-test found that there is no statistically significant difference (p<0.05) between Gong’s mobilization group and Cyriax manipulation group on improving ROM and decreasing the functional deficit. Conclusion: Gong’s mobilization andCyriax manipulation is equally effective in improving shoulder abduction and decreasing the functional deficit in subjects with frozen shoulder.
