Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of fascial manipulation treatment in terms to reduce pain and improve physical functionality after rotator's cuff surgery. The technique involves deep friction manipulation of fascia's specific spots. Distant from surgical site.
Detailed Description
To evaluate the effectiveness of fascial manipulation treatment associated with standard physiotherapies treatment in rotator's cuff surgery patients, we'll randomize about 60 patients for arm's of study. Both arm's will receive 10 standard physiotherapies treatments in 2 weeks while the experimental arm will receive 3 manual intervention on deep fascial tissues, according to fascial manipulation technique, providing a specific motor and manual assessment, and a deep manual intervention over specific fascial alteration. To evaluate the effectiveness of fascial manipulation treatment we'll use 2 type of outcome measure and we will compare the result of both arms of study.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Rotator's cuff surgery patients that have been operated within the past 4/5 weeks
- •Age between 18 to 65 years old
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients with traumatic shoulder's injury that involved bone's fractures.
- •Severe underlying pathologies like rheumatic, neurological and cardio pathologies that affect the correct shoulder treatment
- •Patients on anticoagulant treatment
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
visual analogue scale (VAS)mean
Time Frame: Change from baseline in pain at the end of the rehabilitation cycle (two weeks)
we'll compare the baseline data (the first evaluation), with data at the end of the treatment, and with follow up (30 days from surgery)
Secondary Outcomes
- Constant Murley score(Change from baseline in range of motion at the end of the rehabilitation cycle (two weeks))
