Inclusion Criteria

We will include participants aged 18-75 years old with subacromial shoulder pain, who present immediate reduction in shoulder pain following the application of MWM to the shoulder complex (glenohumeral, sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, and scapulothoracic), cervical spine, or thoracic region.

We have defined subacromial shoulder pain and we will screen participants following the British Elbow and Shoulder Society (BESS) guidelines. We will include participants who present with a painful arc movement during shoulder flexion or abduction; or pain on resisted lateral rotation or abduction; or positive Jobe’s test.

Exclusion Criteria

We will exclude participants who have acute rotator cuff tear, unreduced dislocation, tumour or infection; or the history of shoulder, cervical surgeries, shoulder subluxation and dislocation; or localised acromioclavicular joint pain, frozen shoulder, hemiplegic shoulder pain, systematic inflammation or disease; or clinical signs of full thickness of rotator cuff tear.
