Description:

Course Overview

The shoulder complex is one of the leading areas of musculoskeletal pain.  Through poor posturing and overuse of the upper extremity, a variety of painful conditions can develop leading to local pain in the shoulder while contributing to cervical and lumbar spine pain as well. Patients may be treated for months with passive modalities and exercise with minimal change in symptoms.

This course introduces manual evaluation techniques of the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder complex.  Evaluation techniques are designed to identify tissue specific impairments to individualize treatment. Treatments range from manual therapy techniques for soft tissue and joint restrictions to strengthening exercises for weakness and/or instability.
