Adhesive capsulitis (AC) represents a renowned musculoskeletal condition which has been clinically classified as frozen shoulder (FS). Adhesive capsulitis occurs 3-5% of the time in the general population, but in diabetics, the frequency can reach 20%. This study is being conducted to determine the effects of gongs mobilization vs reverse distraction technique in diabetic patients with adhesive capsulitis. This study will be a randomized control trial and data will be collected from Haq Orthopedic Hospital. Sample size is 20 calculated by using G power and adding 20 % attrition.

Detailed description

Non-Probability convenient sampling will be used. Participants meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups.10 subjects in group A will be treated Gongs mobilization and group B will be treated with Reverse distraction technique.
