Shoulder therapy with added back and neck moves for frozen shoulder
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding gentle back and neck movements to standard physical therapy helps improve shoulder pain and movement in people with frozen shoulder. The goal is to see if these extra moves make recovery faster or more complete.
