Contextually Enhanced Exercise Programs for Rotator Cuff-Related Shoulder Pain

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether adding personalized contextual factors to an exercise program can improve pain and function in people with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain. This condition is a common cause of shoulder pain and can limit daily activities. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Does a contextually enriched and individualized exercise program lead to greater improvement in upper-limb disability (measured by the QuickDASH questionnaire) compared with a contextually fixed program? 2. Does it lead to greater reductions in pain intensity (measured by the Numeric Pain Rating Scale) and greater improvements in autonomic nervous system regulation (measured by heart rate variability)? 3. Does it result in more favorable changes in psychosocial outcomes, exercise adherence, and therapeutic alliance? Researchers will compare two exercise programs to determine whether adding personalized contextual features enhances treatment effectiveness. One group will receive a standardized, evidence-based exercise program delivered in a fixed and neutral manner. The other group will receive the same exercise program with added personalized contextual elements, such as: * Preferred music and lighting * Choice between equivalent exercises (without changing exercise type or dosage) * Motivational feedback and supportive communication * Personalized progress tracking Both groups will: * Attend supervised exercise sessions twice per week for 12 w…
