Brief Summary

The main objective is to evaluate whether a treatment program combining manual therapy (joint mobilization) and exercise is more effective in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis than an exercise program applied in isolation.

The researchers will compare both groups (experimental group and control group) using the different techniques.

During the sessions, mobility will be evaluated with a goniometer and data will be recorded to monitor progress, maintaining a confidential record of the data.

evaluation of the improvement of shoulder mobility in patients with adhesive capsulitis by performing by an exercise program, mobilization or boths techniques.3-4 months

study and measure if there is improvement in adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder with the proposed exercise programs versus exercise plus manual therapy in 108 subjects, 54 subjects in each group and a descriptive analysis of the data will be carried out, examining the initial homogeneity between the groups. in terms of the variables age, sex, pain, range of motion and functionality. The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) questionnaire and the visual analogue scale (VAS) will be used to assess pain.
