Exercise is widely regarded as an effective intervention for symptomatic rotator cuff tendinopathy but the prescription is diverse and the important components of such programmes are not well understood. The objective of this study was to systematica... Read More about Therapeutic Exercise for rotator cuff tendinopathy: A systematic review of contextual factors and prescription parameters.

Rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair: a survey of current UK practice (2015)
Journal Article

Background: Rotator cuff disorders, including rotator cuff tears, are common and can be treated conservatively or surgically. Data suggest that the incidence of surgery to repair the rotator cuff is rising. Despite this rise, the most effective appro...

Understanding the barriers and enablers to implementation of a self-managed exercise intervention: A qualitative study (2015)
Journal Article
Littlewood, C., Mawson, S., May, S., & Walters, S. (2015). Understanding the barriers and enablers to implementation of a self-managed exercise intervention: A qualitative study. Physiotherapy, 101(3), 279-285. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physio.2015.01.001

Background: Despite a proliferation of research evidence, there remains a 'gap' between what this evidence suggests and what happens in clinical practice. One reason why physiotherapists might not implement research evidence is because the findings d...
