how to minimize pain during Gliding/Mobilizations?

[Kaleem_685]

Hi

I am a final year student of B.P.T(bachelor in Physiotherapy). As I treated many frozen shoulder patients, so I will suggest to apply host pack first, then give traction.First start with the oscillatory movements in the available range with traction. Then go for glides. Correct traction force will give relief from pain to great extent.

Another thing which I really want to mention is that If a patient is having pain at night, then give cold pack instead of hot pack. It will really reduce the pain.
