Introduction
RC syndrome is a most common complaint in therapeutic massage therapy. In this condition
soft tissues become painfully entrapped in the area of shoulder joint. The entrapment varies per
person, resulting pain on elevation of the arm or lying on the affected side. Patients affected
with this condition faces mild to severe restricted range of motion (ROM) and they are unable
to perform overhead activities.
The shoulder joint is structurally and functionally complex as it is one of the most freely
movable area in the human body due to the articulation at the glenohumeral joint. The glenoid
cavity articulates humeral head which is almost three times bigger than glenoid fossa. The
superioinferior (SI) diameter and the anteroposterior diameter of the humeral head and radius
of curvature of the humeral head are 3 times larger than glenoid width, glenoid length and
radius of curvature of the glenoid cavity. CASE STUDY-FINAL_compressed
