Abstract BACKGROUND
Frozen shoulder is a common debilitating condition characterized by scapulohumeral pain and progressive loss of shoulder movement. The presence of intracapsular fibrosis complicates this condition by affecting range of motion, pain, and inflammation. The Bowen technique is a system of subtle and very precise mobilizations called Bowen moves applied over muscles tendons, nerves, and fascia. The moves are performed using the fingers and thumbs, applying only gentle, non-invasive pressure.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Bowen Therapy on range of motion, pain, and disability in patients with Frozen shoulder

METHODOLOGY
A 35-year old male having frozen shoulder was selected according to inclusive and exclusive criteria. Pre-test for range of motion was assessed by goniometer. Pain and disability by shoulder pain and disability index scale (SPADI). Bowen’s Therapy was given for 4weeks, 5days per week for 1hour of session. Following the intervention after 4weeks, the effect of both the components was assessed by same tool as in pre-test.

RESULT
There was an increase of 30-40 degrees of range of motion after the treatment compared to its pre-test values where as in pain and disability showed improvement from very severe shoulder pain and disability to moderate shoulder pain and disability.

CONCLUSION
Bowen Therapy was found to be effective on range of motion, pain, and disability in patients with Frozen shoulder.
