The purpose of this prospective study is to see the natural course of adhesive capsulitis of hip. The study is based on the hypothesis that the natural course of adhesive capsulitis of hip is similar to that of adhesive capsulitis of shoulder. This study is also based on a hypothesis that hip joint capsule stretching exercise will result in pain relief, recovery of hip range of motion in months.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Painful hip with Limited range of motion (especially external rotation and abduction)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Acute trauma history
• hematologic abnormality (Rheumatologic disease, Autoimmune disease)
• Radiologic abnormality (joint degenerative change, calcification, loosebody, evidence of Femoroacetabular impingement, osteonecrosis of femoral head, etc)
• MRI: Extra-articular pathology
