Patients seeking care for their shoulder in a primary care setting will be recruited to participate in a trial investigating the value of different exercise and education regimens. Patients that choose to participate will be randomized to 1 of 4 different treatment groups focused on strengthening of the rotator cuff and shoulder girdle muscles: eccentric strengthening alone; traditional strengthening alone; eccentric strengthening plus education focused on pain neuroscience, traditional strengthening plus education focused on pain neuroscience. All patients will be seen in the clinic for 4-6 sessions over a 4-week period, as well receive a home exercise program that aligns with the exercise group there were randomized to. One-year outcomes will be compared across all 4 groups.
