Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of post isometric relaxation technique on shoulder normal range of motion in individuals with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome. Material and Method: For this purpose, 52 patients diagnosed with Shoulder impingement syndrome were divided into two groups using the single-blind randomization technique. Ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical stimulation, ice application, stretching exercises, scapulothoracic joint mobilizations, home exercise program (Wand exercises, isometric exercises) in the control group (n=24), ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical stimulation, ice application, stretching exercises, scapulothoracic joint mobilizations, home exercise program (Wand exercises, isometric exercises) and post isometric relaxation technique in the experimental group (n=28) were applied for 10 sessions. The patients' shoulder normal range of motion before, during, and after the treatment was measured with a Universal goniometer and recorded in the "Case Report Form". Results: In the statistical analyzes made, it was determined that the groups were similar in terms of age, gender distribution, and pre-treatment normal range of motion. When the preand post-treatment groups were compared within themselves, it was determined that there was a significant increase in the measurements of the normal range of motion. Conclusion: The results obtained from the study showed significant results in both groups in increasing the normal range of motion in patients with a diagnosis of shoulder impingement syndrome. However, it was not concluded that the application of the post isometric relaxation technique in addition to ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical stimulation, ice application, stretching exercises, scapulothoracic joint mobilization techniques, and home exercises are more effective.
