Abstract

Background: shoulder pain is one amongst the common joint pain in recreational players. The shoulder pain hampers most of the activities of daily living due to restriction of range of motion at the joint and pain. Physiotherapy helps in relieving the pain by using various techniques and modalities. M2T is a myofascial release technique which helps in mobilization of the adherent fascia hence relieving pain and improving range of motion.

Patients and Methods: 7 recreational shoulder pain subjects between the age group 18-30 years were assesed from the KLE University’s Indoor Stadium, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Nehru Nagar, Belagavi, Karnataka.

Methods: Participants were assesed and treated with the M2T blade. Outcome measures used was the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain and range of motion (ROM) was assesed by using a universal goniometer. The VAS and ROM was recorded pre and post intervention

Result: The VAS scores pre and post intervention is *p<0.05. The ROM score for shoulder flexion and extension is *p<0.05.

Conclusion: M2T blade is effective in immediately reducing pain and increasing range of motion in recreational shoulder pain subjects.

Key Words: M2T, Myofascial release, shoulder pain, Visual Analog Scale, Shoulder Range of Motion (ROM).
