The authors respond to a critique regarding their randomized controlled trial, which concluded that proprioceptive exercises combined with strengthening exercises do not provide additional benefits over strengthening exercises alone for individuals with chronic rotator cuff-related shoulder pain. They address methodological considerations raised in the critique and reaffirm their findings on the effectiveness of the exercise interventions studied.
