This course shows the clinician an entirely new way to treat the shoulder girdle complex. It incorporates Joint Mobilization in ways not often shown, Myofascial Release, Taping Techniques and a fresh way to look at Muscle Re-Education and Strengthening of the Shoulder. The greatest strength of this class is how it finds the true driver of a patient's shoulder pain.

As with all of our manual therapy courses, this seminar will follow a a progression of principles and reinforce them throughout the 16 hours, is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give the clinician hands-on skills they use immediately upon their return to the clinical setting.

What do people have to say about the Comprehensive Treatment of the Shoulder course?

 I loved learning these techniques - other courses that I have been to focus mainly on evaluation. - Seattle, WA    An incredible overall approach to treatment. - Seattle, WA     I now am able to think outside the box and not just look at where the patient is saying that it hurts. - Seattle, WA   Very specific treatments were learned,  It was a lot of information but not overwhelming.  A whole new way to look at things. - Seattle, WA     This is the best course I have been to in my 14 years as a therapist.
