Shoulders: Simplifying the complex

This highly practical course explores a systematic, evidence-based method for simplifying the management of a variety of common shoulder dysfunctions.

Participants are taught a comprehensive, yet simple to follow, (step-by-step) assessment, treatment and clinical reasoning pathway to assure successful outcomes.

Participants will be fine-tuning essential therapy skills with respect to meaningful objective assessments, effective hands-on treatment techniques and functional exercise prescription.

This course is for physiotherapists:

  • looking for an evidence-based method for simplifying the management of what many therapists find to be a very complex region to assess and treat.
  • who desire to fine-tune their skills with respect to meaningful objective assessments, hands-on treatment techniques and effective exercise prescription.
  • who appreciate the value of developing a systematic (step-by-step) approach to managing a wide spectrum of shoulder dysfunctions.
