Unravel the myths and reveal the truths about treating the orthopedic shoulder.

This comprehensive, two-day evidence based course will feature an in-depth biomedical evaluation and an eclectic approach to the manual treatment of shoulder pathologies. An extensive period of the course will consist of lab time in which the participant will be shown and assisted in performing various manual techniques. The number of participants is limited to insure a small lecturer to participant ratio. After completing this course, the clinician should be able to treat various shoulder pathologies utilizing recent advanced manual  therapy techniques.

Please wear/bring lab clothing that will expose the shoulders and upper back (tank tops).

Program subject to change. Participants are cautioned to apply new information and skills within the scope of state licensure law.

 Course Objectives:

Upon completion of workshop, therapist will:

• Integrate shoulder anatomechanics into the interpretation of examination findings and rationale for selection of appropriate intervention techniques.
• Analyze and perform evidence-based examination techniques for the shoulder.
• Interpret shoulder signs and symptoms related to shoulder pathology.
• Analyze and apply current literature related to the pathogenesis, classification, diagnostic imaging, conservative and post-surgical interventions for rotator cuff tendonopathy, instability, SLAP lesions, scapular muscle dysfunction, fractures/arthritis, and frozen shoulder.
• Identify and perform appropriate intervention techniques
• Identify response to treatment signs and utilize an algorithmic approach.
• Identify expected outcomes and maximize outcomes when treating patients with rotator cuff tendonopathy, instability, SLAP lesions, scapular muscle dysfunction, fractures/arthritis, and frozen shoulder.

This course features an in-depth presentation of:

• anatomechanics
• rotator cuff tendonopathy non-operative, surgical, and post-operative interventions examination lab: rotator cuff/biceps
• instability/slap lesions examination lab: instability
