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

Active Comparator: Conventional physical therapy

Patients in this group will receive Conventional physical therapy

Other: Conventional physical therapy
Conventional physical therapy consisting of scapular stabilization exercises, posterior capsule stretch, and rotator cuff activation exercises
