Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Active Release Technique	Active Release Technique and muscle energy technique	In ART the particular muscle is taken from shortened to lengthened position or vice versa. Duration of treatment will be of 8-15min
Muscles Energy Technique	Active Release Technique and muscle energy technique	In METs,the protocol will perform for 3 repetitions per day and thrice a week for 5 week.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Numerical pain rating scale	Change from Baseline in pain to 6 week	patients rate their pain from 0 to 10, from 0 to 20, or from 0 to 100. Zero represents "no pain," whereas 10, 20, or 100 represents the opposite end of the pain continuum (e.g., "the most intense pain imaginable," "pain as intense as it could be," "maximum pain").
Shoulder Pain and Functional Disability Index	Change from Baseline in disability to 6 week	The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of items grouped into pain and disability subscales.
Universal Goniometry	Change from Baseline in range of motion to 6 week	Universal goniometer (UG) is commonly used as a standard method to evaluate range of motion (ROM) as part of joint motions.
