Methodology: Twenty clinically diagnosed adhesive capsulitis subjects were selected for the study that fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were divided into two groups. Group A- Scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques along with Conventional Physiotherapy (IFT) Group B –   Conventional physiotherapy (IFT) with exercises, Prior consent form will be obtained. , On the first day pr test will be conducted  Subjects of both the group were assessed for pain on Numerical Pain Rating scale and Dynamic  Scapular  stability by using Lateral scapular slide test. Then post test score is obtained after 4 weeks from each group.

Result: The calculated ‘t’ value is 3.83 and the‘t’ table value is 2.878 at 0.005 level of significance. It shows that there is significant difference between scapular PNF techniques along with IFT and conventional physiotherapy with exercises in the management of pain among subjects with adhesive capsulitis.
