Summary

A convenience sample of subjects with RCRSP recruited through announcements at the Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla will be treated with an exercise program with sham or real manual therapy for 5 weeks.

The hypothesis of the present study is that the addition of manual therapy to a therapeutic exercise program produces better benefits in comparison to the same exercise program with sham manual therapy procedures in the management of patients with RCRSP.

Description

The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the combination of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise achieves better results in the management of the patient with shoulder pain.

For this, manual therapy techniques in the thoracic region and in the shoulder together with a therapeutic exercise program will be applied.

The investigators will compare this intervention protocol with placebo manual therapy techniques and the same therapeutic exercise protocol.
