Pain catastrophizing based on the Pain Catastrophizing Scale questionnaire has thirteen questions based on the Likert scale and scoring (0-4). Timepoint: All participants will be assessed at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and after the completion of the intervention (after eight sessions in a period of two months). Method of measurement: Pain catastrophizing questionnaire will be used to measure pain catastrophizing.;The second outcome variable is shoulder joint movement disability, which is measured by the Disability of Arm and Shoulder questionnaire. Based on this questionnaire, a change of 2.10 points in this scale is considered clinically significant. In examining pain at rest, a visual pain scale with a range of 0 to 10 cm was used, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst imaginable pain". Timepoint: All participants will be assessed at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) and after the completion of the intervention (after eight sessions in a period of two months). Method of measurement: To check the level of shoulder function, the shoulder joint mobility disability assessment questionnaire will be used.;The third outcome variable is motion phobia, which is measured by the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia questionnaire.
