In this episode with Karen McCreesh, we explore shoulder pain and what patients really want. We discuss:

• The mismatch between what patients want and what clinicians think they need
• Role of pain and how to explain this to patients
• Role of group exercise for those not improving with individual exercises

She is a Professor in Physiotherapy at the School of Allied Health at the University of Limerick, Ireland. She has an extensive track record in shoulder pain research, with a multitude of peer reviewed publications in leading journals.
