Self-Management for Persistent Subacromial Pain

The intervention is a personalised supported self-management intervention which emphasises dynamic, progressively loaded exercises for the shoulder. The intervention consisted of 1-5 individual sessions provided over 3 months, with a duration of 1 hour for the first session and 45 minutes for the following. The participants will have the opportunity to contact the physiotherapist by phone, text message or e-mail for advice during the treatment period (12 weeks). The personalised supported self-management intervention will be based on the components of the self-management framework, provided by Lorig and Holman (2003). The five self-management skills and the operationalization of these will be described when publishing the study. For specific content reporting of the self managed exercises we will follow the Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template.
