Avabahuka can be correlate with frozen shoulder, which is characterized by pain, stiffness, and restricted movement in the shoulder joint which hampers daily activities. A 52-year-old female patient presented with symptoms of severe restriction in movements of the right shoulder joint along with pain and stiffness for 1 year and was diagnosed with Avabahuka (Frozen shoulder). As a therapeutic intervention, Ethnic Marma therapy was given daily for 21 days, with weekly evaluations without any oral medication. Symptoms were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and a grading pattern, while range of motion was evaluated using a goniometer. Follow-ups were conducted at one and four months to assess symptom response. After 21 days of treatment, the patient had significant improvement in right shoulder range of motion, and relief from pain and stiffness. No recurrence of symptoms was seen during follow up period. This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of Ethnic Marma therapy as a potential treatment for managing Avabahuka (frozen shoulder).
