About

During the rehabilitation process after rotator cuff repair surgery, patients suffer from increased pain and discomfort due to dysfunction. Pain neuroscience education, a more modern educational method, has been reported to be effective in controlling pain by reducing the fear of movement based on an understanding of neurophysiology.
