Mulligan's mobilization for rotator cuff pain
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a hands-on therapy technique called Mulligan's mobilization to see if it helps reduce shoulder pain and improve movement in people with rotator cuff problems like impingement or partial tears. It may be an option for those who have had shoulder pain for at least 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
