Abstract: Adhesive Capsulitis is a prevalent disease but its management is challenging. In contrast, the current best scientific data about the use of physical therapy intervention is reviewed in this quick review. Furthermore, this article is intended to offer a brief overview of physiotherapy treatments for adhesive capsulitis. There are a number of physiotherapy interventions that have been proposed such as therapeutic exercises, interferential therapy and joint mobilizations are advised to reduce pain, increase range of motion (ROM) and function in adhesive capsulitis subjects. Low Level Laser Therapy was highly recommended for relieving pain but fairly recommended for function enhancement and not recommended for range enhancement. Microwave diathermy, therapeutic ultrasound was not recommended for relieving pain, enhancing ROM and function. Deep heat, Joint mobilization, Kaltenborn mobilization and Mobilization under anaesthesia can be used to ease pain and enhancing ROM. Efficacy of iontophoresis is still needed to check. Dry needling may relief the pain and increase ROM but there is need to check the efficacy of dry needling in adhesive capsulitis with large sample sized randomized control trial. In this situation, there is little consensus on the most effective treatment to decrease pain, improve ROM and shoulder function.

Key Words- Adhesive Capsulitis, Dry Needling, Mobilization, Electrotherapy, Stretching Exercise.
