At each experimental session, following the recording of baseline measures, each participant received one of the three treatment conditions (MWM, sham, control),in a randomized order known only to the treating therapist. The treatment allocation sequence was block randomized using the drawing of lots and concealed from the investigator who took the outcome measurements.Following the application, outcome measures were again taken. Participant blinding was facilitated by recruitment of people who had no experience of the manipulative therapy techniques applied to the shoulder and by careful instruction that did not refer to the study’s aims of evaluation of a treatment technique.Subjects were informed that the study was investigating the effects of manual handling on shoulder pain. An exit questionnaire assessed the adequacy of patient blinding. Results of the exit questionnaire showed that three participants (12%) correctly guessed they had only received active treatment and none had correctly
