The primary goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of High Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) on tears of tendons of shoulder girdle muscles with those of Ultrasound (US) therapy. It will also learn about the effects of HILT on pain and range of motion of injured shoulder. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does HILT decrease the debilitating pain? Does HILT increase the range of motion of the sholuder joint? How long does the effect of HILT continue? Researchers will compare the effects of HILT to a control group (ultrasound therapy group, an established method of treatment in shoulder girdle tendon tears) to see if HILT works better to treat shoulder girdle tendon tears. Participants will: receive HILT or US therapy 3 sessions per week for 3 weeks in addition to the therapeutic exercise program. Visit the clinic at the beginning, at the 4th week and at the 12th week to determine the level of pain and disability via application of surveys. Tendon thickness of participants will also be measured at the beginning, at the 4th week and at the 12th week to see if the treatment works to heal the tear.
