Materials and Methods: This is a double blind clinical trial study performed in the Fattemieh physiotherapy clinic of Rafsanjan In for 12 months, from 20 January 2007 to 20 January 2008. Ninty patients who were afflicated with rotator cuff tendonitis of the shoulder were divided into three equal groups randomly (30 in each group). Patients were treated in 10 sessins. Each group either received low power laser or ultrasound or none (control group). Intensity of the pain and improvement of the movement was assessed during 1st, 51h and 10th sessions.
