The Effect of Breathing Exercises in Addition to Conventional Treatment in Frozen Shoulder Patients

During the exercise sessions, participants will be seated in a chair. In the first five and last five minutes of the session, they will be instructed to focus on their breathing and the sensations produced in the body while sitting comfortably in a relaxed position with all joints in the chairs with their eyes closed. After the initial 5 minutes of relaxed breathing, participants will be instructed to perform diaphragmatic and costal breathing for 10 minutes. After 5 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing, the patient will be rested for 1 minute and then 5 minutes of costal breathing will be performed. While doing coastal breathing, patients will be asked to place their hands on their costas, take a deep breath and inflate the bottom of their hands; then they will be asked to exhale the breath they take in a longer (1:2) time.

Ultrasound, hotpack and TENS will be applied to both control and study groups as physical therapy modality. Then 15 sessions of Codman exercises, normal range of motion exercises and stretching exercises will be applied to both groups.
