Study population: Participants will be recruited by flyers at the University Hospital Brussels, social media. Prior to inviting the eligible participants, the presence of musculoskeletal pain will be confirmed by phone in order to proceed to the informed consent process. Musculoskeletal pain is defined as pain, that potential participants report, feeling in the muscles, joints or bones. This pain can be localized, regional, or widespread.

Brief summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the associations between pain cognitions and movement-evoked pain in people with musculoskeletal pain complaints.

Detailed description: This study will investigate the associations between pain cognitions and movement-evoked pain in people with musculoskeletal pain complaints. This study will be carried out as a cross-sectional study. Participants will be recruited by means of flyers and social media.

Pain cognitions will be assessed using questionnaires (The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), The llness perception questionnaire-revised (IPQ-R), The Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire (PVAQ), The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), The 36-item short form health survey (SF-36)), whilst movement-evoked pain will be assessed using a lifting task. Participants will need to rate the experienced pain immediately after completing the task. To estimate the extent to which pain cognitions explain movement-evoked pain, correlational analyses will first be conducted between all variables to determine what variables will be included in the hierarchical regression analysis.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* 18 years or older,
* presence of musculoskeletal pain for more than three months,
* medically stable (no serious health conditions, no pending surgery or invasive medical procedure, no contraindication to physical activity).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Presence of co-existing pain conditions of other origins with chronic musculoskeletal pain not being the primary condition (i.e. predominant subject of symptom complaints)
* severe underlying comorbidity (like diagnosed diabetes, cardiovascular problems, etc.)
* pregnant or given birth in the preceding year.
