To investigate and compare the effects of Mulligan mobilization versus shock wave therapy in patients with adhesive capsulitis on Pain intensity level, Range of motion, Functional disability level, Ultrasonographic changes (soft tissue thickness) and Hand grip strength.

sixty patients of both genders according to sample size calculation, referred from orthopedist, diagnosed adhesive capsulitis patients. they screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Their age between 40 and 60 years was randomly allocated to three treatment groups.

• Group A (study group) (n=20) will receive mulligan technique and conventional treatment.
• Group B (study group) (n=20) will receive extracorporeal shockwave therapy and conventional treatment.
• Group C (control group) (n=20) will receive conventional treatment only.

Inclusion criteria: patients that will be included in the study will be referred from orthopedic physician with:

1. Patients referred from orthopedist and diagnosed as frozen shoulder
2. The age of the participant will be from 40-60 (Agarwal S., et al.2016).
3. Body mass index from 25- 30 kg/m2.
4. having a painful stiff shoulder for at least 3 months
5. having limited ROM of a shoulder joint (ROM losses of 25% or greater compared with the noninvolved shoulder in at least 2 of the following shoulder motions: glenohumeral flexion, abduction and lateral rotation.
6. ability to complete Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaires (DASH).

Exclusion criteria:

1. history of surgery on the particular shoulder
2. Rheumatoid arthritis
3. painful stiff shoulder after a severe trauma
4. fracture of the shoulder complex
5. rotator cuff rupture
6. tendon calcification.
