Active Comparator
Diaphragm manual therapy
Diaphragm hipopressive exercise
Shoulder myofascial trigger points treatment
3 diaphragm stretching techniques performed by a physical therapist are employed in this experimental group during 10 minutes. The participants are situated in a seated, supine and side bending position. 20 people are recruited in order to the inclusion criteria for the study. They have rotator cuff injuries diagnosed by ultrasounds or magnetic resonance.
Diaphragm mobilization through active hipopressive gymnastic exercise in two different postures. 20 people are recruited in order to the inclusion criteria for the study. They have rotator cuff injuries diagnosed by ultrasounds or magnetic resonance.
A ischemic compression technique in infraespinatus and supraespinatus myofascial trigger points performed by a physical therapist is employed in this group. 20 people are recruited in order to the inclusion criteria for the study. They had rotator cuff injuries diagnosed by ultrasounds or magnetic resonance.
