ABSTRACT

Due to sedentary work, increasing competition, heavy weight lifting, swimming, cricket, and vigorous use of advanced computer applications, all cause the deformity of ligaments and muscles of the shoulder joint. This leads to disability of the Amsa Sandhi and Bahu which results in Avabahuka (Frozen shoulder) that obstructs the day-to-day activities of human beings. Among the Dosha, Vata Dosha is superior in all aspects, most powerful in its ability & activity. Vata is a motivating factor for Pitta & Kapha, which is vitiated by such a lifestyle. In today’s fast & mechanical life, Vataja disorders occupy the top position in the field of pathological conditions. Frozen shoulder, “Peri-arthritis” or “Adhesive Capsulitis” is a disease of the shoulder region in which the shoulder capsule, the connective tissue surrounding the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder, becomes inflamed and stiff, greatly restricting motion and causing chronic pain. It causes a significant loss of both, Active Range of Motion (AROM) and Passive Range of ROM.
