Abstract: Frozen shoulder is an inflammatory condition of the joint capsule, which causes stiffness and pain. It affects quality of life and interferes with functional activities. Patient-specific treatment protocols provide better results than standard physiotherapy protocols. In this case report we present the case of a 43-year-old woman who is a homemaker by occupation with a right-sided frozen shoulder and, occasionally, scapular dyskinesis for the past six months. She had complaints of stiffness, limited mobility, and chronic shoulder pain. A functional evaluation and scapular motion observation were part of it. Outcome measures like the goniometric range of motion evaluation and the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) were used to track progress. It was followed through with a full rehab regime, including the Spencer's method, general physiotherapy care, and the four-point scapular correction technique. Pain, ROM, and function showed significant improvement in the patient over four weeks.
