The shoulder theory and practice
An evidence-based theoretical and practical course based on extensive clinical experience in assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation of shoulder pathology. The course is extensively link to the most recent research publications from a variety of disciplines.
New models of shoulder assessment including the Shoulder Symptom Modification Procedure and a new model for staging and treating rotator cuff tendinopathy will be presented.
Emphasis will be placed on clinical reasoning to support management decisions. Participants completing these courses will gain a greater understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics, assessment and evidence-based treatment of this interesting and complicated region of the body.

Learning outcomes
- To develop a better understanding and knowledge of the clinical anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder region
- To appreciate the importance of taking a biopsychosocial approach to patient management.
- To develop a comprehensive subjective and physical evaluation strategy for the shoulder that considers local and referred sources of pain and directs the clinician to develop an appropriate management plan.
- To develop greater confidence with the physical assessment of the shoulder region and a better understanding of the evidence for the use of the selected assessment techniques.
- To develop a greater understanding and knowledge of various pathologies of the shoulder girdle
- To develop greater competency in the management of patients with a variety of shoulder pathologies.
- To review the research evidence relating to the influence of posture and muscle imbalance and its relationship with shoulder pathology.
- To review the evidence underpinning the pathology, and the assessment and management of various shoulder conditions, including rotator cuff related shoulder pain and frozen shoulder
- To review the research evidence evaluating the use of diagnostic imaging as part of the management for musculoskeletal disorders of the shoulder
- To review the research evidence evaluating the use of injections as part of the management for musculoskeletal disorders of the shoulder.
- To develop a greater confidence in the use of exercise therapy and other techniques for managing shoulder conditions and evaluation of the efficacy of the techniques, balanced against the evidence base for using these techniques.
Prerequisites
- This course is only available to qualified and AHPRA registered physiotherapists.

He assesses & treats people with complex shoulder problems. Jeremy has also trained as an MSK sonographer (Postgraduate Certificate in Diagnostic Imaging-Ultrasound, University of Leeds, UK), & performs ultrasound guided shoulder injections as part of the rehabilitation process if required and appropriate. He also has completed; MSc (Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy), & Postgraduate Diplomas in; Manipulative Physiotherapy (Melbourne), Sports Physiotherapy (Curtin), & Biomechanics (Scotland), as well as MSc studies in injection therapy for soft tissues & joints. He has also qualified as an Independent (non-medical) Prescriber. Jeremy has taught shoulder workshops internationally & has also been invited to present keynote lectures at many international conferences. His main areas of research interest are rotator cuff related shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, injection therapy, & exercise therapy. He also writes about reframing our care for people with non-traumatic musculoskeletal pain & the medicalisation of ‘normality' in musculoskeletal practice. In addition to his own research he supervises PhD & MSc students. Jeremy is a Viewpoint editor for JOSPT and was a co-editor & author for Grieve's Modern Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy (4th ed).
