Brief Summary  
•NULL HYPOTHESIS:

Both Myofascial Release and Dry needling have equal effects in Subscapularis trigger points on Pressure Pain Threshold, Range of Motion and Functional Outcome in  Frozen Shoulder.

•ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS (H1):

Myofascial Release has a greater effect than Dry Needling in Subscapularis trigger points on Pressure Pain Threshold, Range of Motion and Functional Outcome in Frozen Shoulder.

•ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS (H2):

Dry Needling has greater effect than Myofascial Release in Subscapularis trigger points on Pressure Pain Threshold, Range of Motion and Functional Outcome in Frozen Shoulder.


AIM :

To find the effects of myofascial release versus dry needling in subscapularis trigger points on pressure pain threshold, range of motion and functional outcome in frozen shoulder.


OBJECTIVES :

1.To find the effect of Myofascial Release versus Dry Needling in subscapularis trigger points on pressure pain threshold in frozen shoulder patients using Algometer and NPRS.
2.To find the effect of Myofascial Release versus Dry Needling in subscapularis trigger points on range of motion of shoulder in frozen shoulder patients using Universal Goniometer.
3.To find the effect of Myofascial Release versus Dry Needling in subscapularis trigger points on functional outcome in frozen shoulder patients using Function-Related Shoulder tests and SPADI.
