Niel-Asher technique for frozen shoulder recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a manual therapy method called the Niel-Asher technique for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It aims to improve shoulder movement and reduce pain. You may qualify if your frozen shoulder has been present for at least three months and you have tender spots in certain shoulder muscles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
