Vidit Atul Phanse
Abstract: Shoulder injuries are some of the most common type injuries experienced in all age groups and all sexes. The common etiologies vastly vary based on age but can range from traumatic causes such as a fall on an out - stretched arm or overuse reasons due to muscle imbalances. Shoulder injuries are not only associated with the glenohumeral (GH) joint but also to the whole shoulder complex leading to not just GH joint dysfunction but also dysfunction for the whole shoulder complex. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Trigger point dry needling (TDN) in conjunction with scapular strengthening exercises and thoracic mobility exercises as a holistic approach to treating shoulder pain and injury. The general emphasis is placed on shoulder complex common pathologies, muscle imbalances and combination of different interventions for a holistic approach with reduction in pain, improvement of function and improved mental health.
