Nunchaku exercise for frozen shoulder relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether practicing Nunchaku (a traditional martial arts tool) can help people with frozen shoulder, particularly those in the thawing stage. It aims to improve shoulder movement and reduce pain.
