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:

  • Identify how shoulder anatomechanics are used in the interpretation of examination findings and used during the selection of appropriate intervention techniques.
  • Identify and demonstrate evidence-based examination techniques for the shoulder.
  • Recognize and differentiate shoulder signs and symptoms related to shoulder pathology.
  • Recognize and identify how  current literature relates 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 appropriate intervention techniques for the shoulder
  • Identify and interpret response to treatment utilizing an algorithmic approach
  • Identify expected outcomes and identify how to maximize outcomes when treating patients with rotator cuff tendonopathy, instability, slap lesions, scapular muscle dysfunction, fractures/arthritis, and frozen shoulder.
