Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

Introduction: Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis disorder is a progressive painful shoulder condition associated with stiffness and functional restriction of both active and passive shoulder motion, especially in abduction and external rotation.Case Description: A 38-year-old man presented with right frozen shoulder started 3 months before admission.The patient reported no change in his symptoms after the previous 10 sessions of conventional physiotherapy.Physical examination findings were significant for both active and passive range of motion with 8 out of 10 in pain score (Visual Analog Scale (VAS); 8/10).For the treatment, we applied the fascial treatment, including the Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) and fascial training.After 10 sessions, the shoulder range of motion restored to 140° abduction and 90° external and internal rotation with no pain (VAS; 0/10).
