Detailed Description
Patients will be randomized into either High-intensity shoulder exercise group or Conventional physical therapy group. Patients will receive the intervention for six weeks. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: High intensity exercise + Conventional physical therapy Patients in this group will receive High-intensity exercise + Conventional physical therapy |
Other: High intensity shoulder exercise
Exercises that target the rotator cuff muscles using 90% of one repetition maximum only for 5 repetitions
Other: Conventional physical therapy
Conventional physical therapy consisting of scapular stabilization exercises, posterior capsule stretch, and rotator cuff activation exercises
