This group will be given Myofascial Trigger Point Release (MFTR) with basic physiotherapy care.

This group will be given Neil Asher Technique (NAT) along with basic physiotherapy care.

lateral border of the scapula, just below the infraspinatus.

• Compression is followed by horizontal abduction and external rotation to stretch the muscle.

Ischemic Compression: Each active trigger point is treated with 2 sets of deep pressure, applied using the therapist's fingers, thumb, or elbow.

Duration: Each compression lasts 20-30 seconds, gradually increasing pressure to the patient's tolerance.

Post-Compression Stretching: Gentle passive stretching of the treated muscle follows immediately after each compression set to restore muscle length.

Each session will last 35 minutes (5 minutes hot pack, 10 minutes stretching, 20 minutes Myofascial Trigger Point Release)

The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a unidimensional, patient-reported outcome measure used to assess pain intensity. Participants are asked to rate their current pain level, or average pain over a specified recall period (e.g., past 24 hours or past week), using an 11-point scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "worst imaginable pain."

The Universal Goniometer (UG) is a standard clinical instrument used for measuring joint range of motion (ROM) in degrees. It consists of a fulcrum, stationary arm, and movable arm, allowing precise angular measurement of joint movement.

For ROM assessment, the participant is positioned according to standardized protocols (supine, prone, or sitting depending on the joint being assessed). Anatomical landmarks are used for alignment to ensure accuracy and reliability. The stationary arm is aligned with the proximal segment of the joint, while the movable arm follows the distal segment.

The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a validated, self-administered questionnaire designed to measure pain and functional disability in patients with shoulder conditions.

It consists of 13 items divided into two subscales:

Pain subscale (5 items) - assesses severity of shoulder pain during specific activities Disability subscale (8 items) - assesses difficulty in performing functional tasks such as dressing, reaching, lifting, and carrying objects

Each item is scored on a Visual Analog Scale (0-10), where higher scores indicate greater pain and disability. The total SPADI score is calculated as a percentage, with 0% representing no disability and 100% representing maximum disability.
