The purpose of SSE is to restore the position, direction, muscle movement control, and movement pattern of the scapula to stabilize the scapula and improve shoulder joint functions.Methodology: 30 individuals with the age of 30-80 were included in study. Randomly assigned in two groups. Group A received SSE and CT, group B received only CT. Both groups received 40 min treatment for 2 weeks. Goniometer, NPRS, SPADI were used for Pre and post intervention assessment.Results: Both groups demonstrated significant difference in range of motion and pain in 2 weeks of intervention when compared within group. Data was analysed with help of instant unpaired t test.Conclusion: Conclusion was the SSE techniques are effective in improving range of motion and pain SPADI score in Frozen Shoulder Patients.
