Sports Medicine
Rehabilitation Science

Background:

Rotator cuff tendinopathy causes significant pain and disability.
Loaded exercise shows emerging benefits for tendinopathy management.
Self-management strategies are crucial for chronic condition care.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel self-managed loaded exercise program for rotator cuff tendinopathy.
To evaluate the effectiveness of this program within a pragmatic randomized controlled trial.

Main Methods:

Development of a loaded exercise program guided by self-management theory.
Evaluation using a mixed-methods approach, including a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (SELF study, ISRCTN 84709751).
Study conducted within the UK National Health Service.

Main Results:

The paper describes the intervention protocol.
The study is currently evaluating the program's impact on pain and disability.

Conclusions:

A self-managed loaded exercise program offers a potential new approach for rotator cuff tendinopathy.
Further results from the SELF study will determine the program's clinical utility and effectiveness.
