Both groups showed highly significant improvements in shoulder range of motion , decrease in pain and better Global Rating Change cores(GRCS) (p=0.005). GRCS and shoul-der abduction showed significant improvement in group B when compared to group A, sug-gesting better clinical outcomes in those treated with Muscle Energy Techniques. Conclusion: This study showed that both METs and AROM exercises were effective in im-proving shoulder range of motion, function and reducing pain in patients post MRND but-Muscle Energy Techniques were more effective when compared to AROM exercises.<br />.
