ABSTRACT

Frozen shoulder is one of the commonest conditions seen on individuals between 40-60 age group, there is formation of adhesion in the dependent folds of the capsule causes restriction in the range of motion. The diseases are characterised by presence of dull pain around the shoulder joint and gradual reduction in the range of motion with difficulty in the overhead activities. Matrix Rhythm Therapy is a latest advancement in the physical therapy it reactivates the cell metabolism by vibrating the tissue between 8-12 MHz frequency. Here we are presenting a 59 years old male presented with complaints of reduced range of motion and pain around the shoulder joint and complaints of difficulty in grooming and difficulty and pain in the shoulder while reaching the back pocket for which he was taking pain medication as the pain did not subside so he visited the OPD for further management. He was treated with Matrix Rhythm Therapy and Mulligan joint mobilization followed by hot fermentation and Exercises. We conclude that the pain symptoms have relieved significantly and improved overall condition of the individuals. However, the study can be done to assess the effect of matrix rhythm therapy and joint mobilization in individuals with Adhesive Capsulitis.
