Those shoulder patients who fulfill inclusion criteria are divided into two groups. Supervised exercises will be performed by both groups. Kaltenborn mobilization will be applied to patient in experimental group only. Assessment will be done on baseline, 7th and post visit. A total 38 subjects were included in study who met inclusion criteria. Number of patients in both groups was 19.

Adhesive capsulitis is one of the most common debilitating musculoskeletal complaints seen in physiotherapy practice. Adhesive capsulitis is a benign, self-limiting condition of unknown etiology characterized by painful and limited active and passive gleno-humeral range of motion of ≥ 25% in at least two directions most notably shoulder abduction and external rotation. Prevalence of adhesive capsulitis is 2% - 5% in general population.1 Primary adhesive capsulitis and frozen shoulder are current terms used to describe an insidious onset of painful stiffness of the gleno-humeral joint. Secondary adhesive capsulitis, on the other hand, is associated with a known predisposing condition of the shoulder (eg, humerus fracture, shoulder dislocation, avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, or stroke.

The range of motion (ROM) impairments associated with primary adhesive capsulitis can impact a patient's ability to participate in self-care and occupational activities. Even though this condition is considered self-limiting, with most patients having spontaneous resolution within 3 years, some patients can suffer long-term pain and restricted shoulder motion well beyond 3 years. A disability of this duration places severe emotional and economic hardship on the afflicted person. Most patients are unwilling to suffer this pain, prolonged disability, and sleep deprivation without seeking treatment.

Currently, no standard medical, surgical, or therapy regimen is universally accepted as the most efficacious treatment for restoring motion in patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis. While physical therapy is commonly prescribed for this condition, some studies have found little treatment benefit. Rehabilitation programs consisting of exercise, massage, and modalities have been shown to improve shoulder ROM in all planes except external and internal rotation. There is evidence, however, that joint mobilization procedures can lessen the associated gleno-humeral rotational deficits characteristic of this condition, especially external rotation. The optimal direction of force and movement application for the joint mobilization to restore external rotation, however, is not clear. Traditionally, physical therapists have used an anterior glide of the humeral head on the glenoid technique to improve external rotation ROM, a choice based on the "convex-on-concave" concept of joint surface motion. In contrast, Roubal et al used a posteriorly directed glide manipulation based on the "capsular constraint mechanism" to restore external as well as internal rotation ROM.Supra-scapular nerve block (SSNB) is a safe and effective method to treat pain in chronic diseases that affect the shoulder. The technique consists of injecting anaesthetics in supraspinatus fossa of affected shoulder, with the patient sitting down and upper limbs pending beside the body.The technique consists of injecting anesthetic in supraspinatus fossa of affected shoulder, with the patient sitting down and upper limbs pending beside the body.3 In this study keltenborn joint mobilization will be use as intervention is to restore the joint play and in order to normalize the rolling and gliding of any joint, which are necessary for the active normal and non-painful movement. Some general exercises also help us to treat adhesive capsulitis.
