Brief summary (from the registry)
This project aims to study the impacts of self-thoracic spine and rib mobilization on sleep quality in patients who present to UTSW physicians with shoulder pain. The investigators plan to randomize participants into treatment and control groups, but the investigators will provide education on sleep hygiene for each group. The treatment group will also receive instruction to mobilize their thoracic spine and ribs each night before going to sleep.
