Problem list
Treatment goals:
Short term:
To manage pain from 9/10 right and left 6/10to 4/10 right and left 2/10 within week
To improve limited range of motion
Long term:
Postural correction
To achieve full ranges of shoulders
Return to the activity of daily living
Treatment plan:
Ice pack (5 minutes)
Tens (15 minutes)
Ultra sound
AC joint mobilization
Inferior caudal glide
AP and PA glide ac joint (3,4 grade) 3 sets
Lateral glide with 90-degree abduction
Lateral glide with 90-degree flexion
Session 1
Patient came to the OPD with the complain of severe bilateral shoulder pain treatments given to
the patient ice pack, tens15minutes.
Session:2
Subjective: Pain reduced little bit on NPRS scale 8/10 right 6/10 left
