shoulder depression
Each patient was in supine position. Patients were asked to place their affected hand under the thigh in order to produce shoulder depression. Therapist was standing towards the head of patient and placed hand on non-affected side. Therapist attempted to flex, contra-laterally side flexion and rotation until tissue resistance was felt. After that therapist placed the muscle in mid-range and lengthened aggressively beyond tissue resistance with 15 second hold. After that new barrier was achieved and same procedure repeated.
