What did the study find?
“Adding acromioclavicular mobilization to standard physical-therapy was more efficient in decreasing pain and disability and improving active abduction range of motion compared to standard physical-therapy in frozen shoulder patients.” from the cited article
The study found, that the addition of acromio-clavicular mobilizations in the treatment of frozen shoulder and adhesive capsulitis was effective and more effective than just the standard therapy alone.
What does this mean for me?
If you are suffering with frozen shoulder symptoms or adhesive capsulitis, the addition of treatment to the acromioclavicular joint and subsequent joint mobilizations of such, you will have a faster result with less pain and overall more return to motion in the more appropriate timeframe. If your physical therapist is not doing these types of mobilizations with your recovery, ask them why or ask them to be trained and certified and such. Or in fact find a better physical therapist with more experience with these more advanced techniques.
What can CORE Physical Therapy in Omaha do Different?

Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this trial was to compare the efficacy of acromioclavicular joint mobilization and standard physical-therapy versus physical-therapy alone in the treatment of the frozen shoulder.
Design: Single-blind randomized clinical trial.
Setting: Outpatient setting.
Subjects: Patients with frozen shoulder.
Intervention: Participants were randomly allocated into mobilization + physical-therapy (n = 28), and physical-therapy alone (n = 28) groups for one month.
Main measures: The primary outcomes were the shoulder pain and disability index and the shoulder range of motion. The secondary outcome was the visual analogue scale. Measures were performed at the baseline, immediately and one month after the beginning of the treatment.
Results: Visual analogue scale and the shoulder pain and disability index improved more significantly in the mobilization group compared to the physical-therapy group immediately [-4.63 (-5.58–3.67) vs. -2.22 (-2.96–1.47), P < 0.001 and -23.08 (-28.63–17.53) vs. -13.04 (-17.93–8.16), P = 0.008, respectively] and one month after the beginning of the treatment [-5.58 (-6.45–4.72) vs. -3.61 (-4.60–2.62), P < 0.001 and -33.43 (-40.85–26.01) vs. -20.03 (-26.00–14.07), P= 0.001, respectively]. Active abduction range of motion was also improved more significantly immediately after the treatment in the mobilization group compared to the physical-therapy group [25.83 (11.45-40.13) vs. 10.17 (1.02-19.15), P = 0.025], however there were no significant differences between two groups concerning other measured range of motions.
Conclusions: Adding acromioclavicular mobilization to standard physical-therapy was more efficient in decreasing pain and disability and improving active abduction range of motion compared to standard physical-therapy in frozen shoulder patients.
