Gong's Mobilization Techniques for Frozen Shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific hands-on physical therapy technique called Gong's mobilization, with or without an additional method called Nielasher, can help restore movement and reduce pain in frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder is a condition where the shoulder becomes stiff and painful, limiting your ability to move your arm.
