Background: Adhesive Capsulitis (AC) is common condition causing pain and marked functional disability in shoulder joint. Research reports Muscle energy Technique (MET) improves flexibility and reduces pain. Spiral Stretch MET which is another variant of MET applied on accounts of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) principles, a protocol that can demonstrate evidence to improve pain, flexibility and function is needed in patients with AC. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the added effects of Spiral Stretch MET with conventional treatment to improve pain, range of motion and function in patients with AC in two weeks protocol. Methods: 30 subjects pre–diagnosed with AC were randomly allocated into groups of (Group A) MET with adjunct to conventional treatment and (Group B) conventional alone for two weeks. Primary outcome was Numerical rating scale for pain, Range of motion and Shoulder pain and disability index SPADI for function. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and at two weeks. Results and Conclusion: The intervention improved pain, range of motion and function post treatment, with the significant difference in experimental group Spiral Stretch MET treatment compared to the control group
