Stiff shoulder is a painful and severely debilitating condition. The inflammatory contracture of the glenohumeral joint capsule in stiff shoulder restricts both active and passive range of motion, with loss of external rotation being especially characteristic of this condition (Dyer et al., 2023). Stiff shoulder is clinically described by the continuing onset of shoulder pain and advanced exacerbation of the shoulder joint leading to exertion in the higher extremity activity, significant disability, and functional restrictions. The most common symptom of a stiff shoulder is night pain, resulting in sleep impediment that leads to one-sided sleep on the uninfected shoulder (Mao et al., 2022).
Spencer technique is a standardized series of treatments with broad application to diagnose, treat and establish prognosis for restricted mobility in shoulder. It was developed by Spencer in 1961. It is a multistep technique that combines Spencer's positioning, sequencing, slow stretching of the shoulder complex within pain-free limits done by physical therapist while incorporating muscular energy with post-isometric contraction and relaxation (Babu And Putcha., 2022).

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
The effectiveness of MET found in chronic capsulitis is due to its effect on relieving pain, ensuring ROM incretions, and developing functional activities due to the muscle contraction in a precise direction and in a monitored position over resistance to assist in improving joint range by advancing joint flexibility. This procedure is suggested for all joints with limited ROM (Butt & Tanveer, 2022).
