Adhesive Capsulitis causes a progressive tightening of the glenohumeral joint capsule, restricting both active and passive movements and resulting in functional impairments. Joint mobilization is an essential component of physical therapy for managing adhesive capsulitis. Two new techniques are emerging in the treatment of Adhesive capsulitis; one of them is called Gong's Mobilization. This technique emphasizes correcting positional faults by applying controlled, dynamic movements to the glenohumeral joint. The other technique, known as Niel-Asher technique is a five-step trigger point therapy which offers a unique, non-invasive holistic approach to address adhesive capsulitis. This study, will be conducted as a randomized clinical trial at Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital and Hope Rehabilitation Center, it aims to evaluate the effects of Gong's mobilization with and without Niel-Asher technique on shoulder pain, ROM and disability in Adhesive Capsulitis of patients aged 40-60 years. A non-probability convenience sampling method will recruit 46 participants meeting the inclusion criteria only. Participants will be randomly assigned to Group A (Gong's Mobilization) or Group B (Gong's mobilization and and Niel-Asher technique) with interventions given for four weeks. Pain severity will be measured using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Range of Motion will be assessed via goniometer, and disability will be evaluated using the SPADI. Statistical analysis using SPSS will compare outcomes between groups at baseline, at two weeks and post-treatment after 4 weeks.

SPADI is a 13 item Questionnaire to evaluate pain (5items) and disability (8 items) in shoulder joint. The patient is instructed to choose the number that best describes their level of pain and extent of difficulty using the involved shoulder. The pain scale is summed up to a total of 50 while the disability scale sums up to 80. The total SPADI score is expressed as a percentage. A score of 0 indicates best 100 indicates worst. A higher score shows more disability.
Time frame: 6th week
Universal goniometer is tool in orthopedics used to precisely measure angles at joints.
Goniometer demonstrates good intra-rater and inter-rater reliability when used consistently with proper technique. It will measure the ranges at shoulder joint (Abduction, Adduction, Flexion, Extension, Internal rotation, External rotation
