Sumario:Discomfort and stiffness in the shoulder joint are the main causes of a frozen shoulder. The main contributing factor to frozen shoulder is typically co-morbid disorders like diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Adhesive capsulitis is another name for a frozen shoulder. Range of motion is the main aspect that is targeted when the illness slowly worsens. The three stages of a frozen shoulder are the freezing stage, the frozen stage, and the thawing stage. Physical therapy plays an important role in providing relief for this condition, but the usual conservative management is more time-consuming, so a patient with a frozen shoulder is managed along with Gong's mobilization and the usual conservative management is given for two weeks. This case report aims to show the result of Gong's mobilization in two weeks. Further, in this case report, the proper procedure for the Gong's mobilization is explained.
