Background to the Research

This project arose from the findings of Rachel Chester’s (Chartered Physiotherapist & Lecturer in Physiotherapy) NIHR Clinical Doctoral Research fellowship. This multicentre study showed that patient beliefs and expectations were the most important predictors of outcome for people receiving physiotherapy for shoulder pain.

The team was awarded Research Capability Funding from the Research and Development Department at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital to enable Helena Daniell (Chartered Physiotherapist & Practice Development and Research Lead) time to contribute her clinical expertise in developing this project and further application for funding.

Felix Naughton is a Senior Lecturer in Health Psychology and Visiting Senior Researcher at the Behavioural Science Group, University of Cambridge. Felix’s key research interest is in the development and evaluation of interventions to promote and support health behaviour change.
