PT Inquest Episode 91: Predicting PT Outcomes for Shoulder Pain

Can we predict which shoulder patients will get better with physical therapy? How much does the psychology of the patient play into their response? Does it have anything to do with the actual treatment provided by the therapist or were these patients going to get better no matter what? Is JW actually DYNOMIIIITE!!!!!
