Inclusion Criteria

Participants will be included if they present with painful arc movement during shoulder flexion or abduction; or pain on resisted lateral rotation or abduction; or positive Jobe’s test.

To be included, participants also need to respond positively to the application of a posterolateral glide MWM on the shoulder at initial screening. For the purpose of this study, a positive response to MWM is defined as a perceived improvement in pain-free movement by the participant during the application of MWM.

Exclusion Criteria

Participants will be excluded if they present signs or symptoms suggesting: acute rotator cuff tear, massive rotator cuff tears (defined by gross shoulder muscle weakness in the absence of pain), history of shoulder or cervical surgery in the past 6 months, corticosteroid injection in the last 6 weeks, other shoulder disorders (i.e., glenohumeral osteoarthritis, history of shoulder subluxation or dislocation, acromioclavicular joint pain, adhesive capsulitis), signs of paresthesia in the upper extremity, systemic inflammation or disease, neurological disease affecting the shoulder, or tumor.
