Psychomotor Therapy as Complimentary Treatment to Patients With Shoulder Pain.

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2017-09-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Some patients with shoulder pain have decreased body awareness (BA). To some degree, pain among these patients can be increased due to their lack in BA. Psychomotor therapy is thought to improve BA and thereby increase the effect of traditional therapy, such as physiotherapy and exercises.

The aim of this study is therefore to investigate if psychomotor therapy, as a complimenting treatment to physiotherapy, decreases shoulder patients' function deficits and pain reported on PRO's, compared to physiotherapy alone.
