Pendulum Exercises

In this group, 18 participants will perform pendulum exercises, which involve leaning forward and allowing the affected arm to hang down, swinging it gently in small circular or side-to-side motions. This exercise is designed to enhance shoulder mobility and promote relaxation of the rotator cuff muscles without straining the shoulder joint. The pendulum movement helps improve circulation and relieve tension in the shoulder area, making it a suitable intervention for individuals experiencing rotator cuff pain.

OTHER

Serratus Punch Exercises

In this group, 18 participants will engage in serratus punch exercises, focusing on strengthening the serratus anterior muscle. Participants will perform a punching motion by extending the arm forward while maintaining shoulder stability. This exercise activates the shoulder muscles to enhance scapular control, supporting the rotator cuff and improving overall shoulder function. The goal is to build strength in the stabilizing muscles, which can help alleviate pain and enhance mobility in participants suffering from rotator cuff issues.
