Online published on 21 July, 2018. Abstract Introduction Met is commonly utilized method for achieving tonus release in a muscle before stretching. The approach involves the introduction of an isometric contraction to the affected muscles producing post isometric relaxation. Aim To compare between the effects of ischaemic compression and MET on chronic shoulder pain. Objectives To find out effects of ischaemic compression on pain and range of motion for chronic shoulder pain & if MET on pain and range of motion for chronic shoulder pain. To compare between the effects of ischaemic compression and mEt on pain and range of motion for chronic shoulder pain. Procedure the study was conducted on 60 patients with two groups of 30 each. Group A was intervened with IC whereas Group B was intervened with mEt. Outcome measures included pain intensity by VAS and range of motion by goniometer which was measured prior to treatment (pre-Rx) and at the end of 6 sessions of treatment. Conclusion In clinical practice for improving ROM, MET is more effective over the effects of ischaemic compression. Thus for increasing range of internal rotation MET should be used while, effects of ischaemic compression were more dominant in reducing the pain on VAS over Met.
