Shoulder pain relief without the waiting room? a trial tests remote rehab

This trial asks whether a telerehabilitation program—guided exercises done at home—can reduce shoulder pain and disability as effectively as traditional in-person physiotherapy. Adults aged 18 to 60 with persistent shoulder pain lasting at least three months are randomly assigned to either remote or in-person sessions, both focusing on strengthening key shoulder muscles. Over 12 weeks, researchers measure changes in pain, function, and confidence in managing symptoms. The goal is to see if remote care can expand access to effective treatment for those who face barriers like travel or long wait times.
