65
Joint Mobilizations
Pain Control- Grade 1 to Grade 2 | ROM Gains- Grade 3 to Grade 4
66
GH Shoulder Traction
- Primarily demonstrates neurophysiological benefits, specifically useful for patients with pain as the primary disorder - Pt in supine - Forearm in pronation and a traction force - This should cause pain reduction
67
GH Inferior Glides
- GH Inferior Glides will stretch the inferior portion of the capsule - This will improve Abduction and some Flexion - Pt supine - Shoulder in neutral position or slight abduction or the range of abduction
68
AC PA Glides
- Improves shoulder retraction - Pt in supine - PA glide to the posterior "V" notch - Scapula can be adjusted to sensitize the movement
69
AC Inferior Glides
- Improves arm elevation - Pt in supine - Clinician places thumbs on the superior surface and pushes down - Scapula can be adjusted by moving the arm into flexion or abduction
70
AC AP Glides
- Improves scapular protraction - Pt in supine - Clinician places thumbs on anterior "V" notch and pushes anteriorly - Position of the scapula can be adjusted in order to sensitize movements
71
SC Inferior Glides
-Improves arm elevation -Pt in supine Clinician places thumbs superior to the SC joint and lateral to the actual joint space -Arm can be placed in greater or less elevation to sensitize movements
72
Hold Relax
Good for Stretching
73
Posterior Capsule Mobilization

74
Active End-Range Flexion with Downward Glides
- Mobilization with movement - Used to promote the final degrees of end range flexion - Pt in supine - While the pt actively moves into flexion, Clinician applies a scoop force inferiorly and a little anteriorly - Clinician can also further encourage flexion with over-pressure from the other hand
75
Active Internal Rotation with AP Glides
- Improves IR and stretches the posterior capsule - Pt in supine - Shoulder abducted 90 degrees - Clinician applies AP glide while the patient actively moves into IR - Clinician may further IR with other hand
76
Posterior Capsule Stretch
- "Sleeper Stretch" - Pt lies on the affected side with 90 shoulder abduction - Pt performs passive IR using opposite arm to the point of tension - Position is held for 15-30 seconds
77
Scapulothoracic Mobilization
- Improves the mobility of the upper quadrant - Pt in side-lying- Affected side up- Clinician faces the patient - Clinician secures the inferior border of the scapula by putting fingers under the hand - Clinician can apply a downward, medial, lateral, or upward force of the scapula and may combine movements
78
Flexion effects on capsule
Stresses the posterior and inferior portion of the capsule
79
Extension effects on capsule

80
Abduction effects on capsule
