Brief summary (from the registry)

The goal of this clinical trial is to the use of VRi specified effects on pain, kinesiophobia, fear of pain, disability, self-efficacy, grip strength and range of motion in motion in people with chronic shoulder pain. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Can specific immersive virtual reality software decrease movement-evoked pain in patients with chronic shoulder pain compared to non-specific software? * Can specific immersive virtual reality software increase shoulder flexion range of motion in patients with chronic shoulder pain compared to non-specific software? Participants will use a specific VRi software compared with non-specific VRi software
