Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in shoulder range of motion	before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment	electro goniometer
change in pain intesity	before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment , score from 0-10 ,0=no pain , 10= unbearable pain	VAS ( visual analog scale score)
change in the thickness of supraspinatus tendon	before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment	Ultrasonography

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
measure weight in kg and height in cm	before starting the assessment	Weight and height scale for determining BMI
Function of the Upper Limb	before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment, it measure the disability/symptom section (11 items, scored 1-5)	Quick DASH Questionnaire score
