      Physiotherapy Program in Recurrent Shoulder Disease.

AB  - Shoulder pain is a serious clinical disease frequently related to absence from 
      work. It is characterized by pain and stiffness, probably connected to the 
      presence of an inflammatory substrate involving gleno-humeral capsule and 
      collagen tissues. A physiotherapy program has shown to be effective for the 
      conservative treatment of this disorder. Our aim is to assess if a manual 
      treatment directed to fascial tissues could obtain better improvement regarding 
      pain, strength, mobility, and function. A total of 94 healthcare workers with 
      recurrent shoulder pain were recruited and then randomized in two groups: the 
      control group (CG) underwent a five-session physiotherapy program; the study 
      group (SG) underwent three sessions of physiotherapy and two sessions of fascial 
      manipulation (FM) technique. At the end of the treatment phase, both groups 
      improved every outcome. Despite few statistical differences between groups, at 
      the follow-up visit, a greater percentage of subjects in SG overcame the minimal 
      clinical important difference (MCID) in every outcome. We conclude that FM is 
      effective for treatment of shoulder pain and further studies should better assess 
      how to manage this treatment to obtain better results.
