Summary

This study will help the physiotherapists in overcoming the challenges and barriers in the treatment. It will also help researchers in acquiring sufficient knowledge for further research on the Bowen technique and its various applications as this technique is not widely applied in the field of physical therapy treatment.

Conditions

  • Adhesive Capsulitis

Interventions

OTHER

Bowen's technique

Initially, cup move is performed which requires a vertically rolling Bowen move over the posterior border of the deltoid muscle above the axillary crease. The subject's arm is held flexed at 90 degrees at mid-chest height. Then, the elbow is slowly and passively moved in the direction of the opposite shoulder. After maximal adduction of the arm, the therapist firmly taps the lateral aspect of the shoulder with the heel of his/her hand. The arm is then carried back to the original start position, where the therapist gently moves superiorly and slightly laterally over the anterior fibers of the deltoid. The arm is then carefully lowered. The therapist strives to undertake a minimum of moves and procedures to trigger the body's own self-healing powers and assess how much pressure to use and where and when to perform a move to release the build-up of stress. 40-minute sessions thrice a week for 6 weeks.

OTHER
