- Abstract
Background: Trapezitis is an inflammation of trapezius muscle that is commonly seen in clinical practice. Various physiotherapy techniques have shown to be effective in Trapezitis. Although the Bowen technique is indicated in Trapezitis, there is dearth in literature to confirm its effectiveness through scientific studies. Objective: To evaluate the effect of Bowen Technique as an adjunct to the conventional physiotherapy treatment on Trapezitis in terms of pain, disability and cervical range of motion. Design: Pilot study Participants: 15 participants both male and female with Acute Trapezitis. Intervention: Bowen technique given along with Ultrasound, Trapezius stretching and neck strengthening exercises. Outcome measures: Visual Analogue scale, Neck Disability Index, Cervical rotation Active Range of Motion. Results: The mean difference between pre and post treatment values for VAS, NDI and cervical rotation ROM was 5.25±1.40, 24.60±5.19 and 22±8.25. All outcome measures were statistically significant (p<0.05) and showed improvement for all the participants Conclusion: Bowen technique is effective in reducing pain, improving ROM and reducing neck disability in patients with Acute Trapezitis.
