Study Arms (2)
Tissue Intervention
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will attend eight sessions. During each session, participants will receive education on positions of comfort, progressing activities, and return to function. Participants will complete shoulder stretching and strengthening exercises according to a protocol.
Biopsychosocial Intervention
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants will attend eight sessions. During each session, participants will receive education on pain neuroscience education, stress management, and maintaining physical activity. Participants will complete shoulder stretching and strengthening exercises according to a graded exercise protocol.
Interventions
