Comprehensive Treatment of the Shoulder

Course Description

The shoulder is one of the most difficult joints to treat because the true cause of the problem is often missed. This course will provide you with a systematic approach to find the true driver of shoulder dysfunction as well as an entirely unique way to treat the shoulder girdle complex and help your patients quickly return to a high level of function. We’ll focus on the concept of hypo-hyper compensation, while incorporating joint mobilizations in ways not often shown. Plus you’ll learn myofascial release, taping techniques and a fresh way to look at muscle re-education and strengthening of the shoulder!

 

As with all our manual therapy courses, this course is at least 75% hands-on lab, and will give you skills you can use immediately upon returning to the clinic.

What Attendees Are Saying

Slide 1 Heading

I will now have any more treatment options with my shoulder patients. I will be able to better evaluate and treat the scapula/shoulder as a whole and will be able to put together an exercise program that is meaningful for each patient and work on function for each patient.

Slide 1 Heading

Instructor immediately related techniques to evaluation and treatment in a clear and concise manner. I will be able to immediately translate this information into practice.

Reno, NV

Slide 1 Heading

All techniques instructed in the class were very clear. I feel more comfortable with shoulder dysfunctions as a whole and feel more comfortable treating patients and finding out what the root cause of their pain/limitation is.

Slide 1 Heading

This was an amazing course! The whole process leading up the course was also a positive experience. The course itself was laid out very nicely, easy to follow materials were provided (i've been to many courses where this is not the case), and most of all, the instructor was amazing. He was very engaging and made the class fun while teaching so much valuable information. Not to sound cliché, but he made learning fun!

I liked that our instructor was very thorough in the demonstrations of each technique. The course was well executed, and has given me insight on new exercises for stabilization and strengthening of the GHJ and scapulothoracic joints.
