Course Overview

This evidence-based program bridges the gap between diagnosis and treatment by exploring the complex biomechanics of the shoulder through the kinetic link model. Participants will learn advanced assessment techniques, manual therapy approaches, and therapeutic exercise interventions for common shoulder conditions, including rotator cuff pathologies, adhesive capsulitis, and postsurgical rehabilitation for shoulder arthroplasty. The course emphasizes the importance of regional interdependence, fascial connections, and core stability in shoulder rehabilitation, providing clinicians with practical skills to optimize patient outcomes and restore functional movement patterns.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completing this course, the learner should be able to:

  • Apply the kinetic link model to shoulder assessment and treatment, recognizing the relationship between proximal stability and distal mobility in shoulder function.
  • Differentiate between various shoulder pathologies including rotator cuff conditions, adhesive capsulitis, and postsurgical presentations through comprehensive examination techniques.
  • Implement evidence-based manual therapy techniques for the shoulder complex, including joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, and fascial release methods.
  • Organize progressive rehabilitation programs for patients following rotator cuff repair and shoulder arthroplasty based on tissue healing timelines and biomechanical considerations.
  • Integrate core stability and hip mobility exercises into shoulder rehabilitation protocols to address regional interdependence and improve functional outcomes.
  • Analyze scapular positioning and movement patterns to identify dyskinesis and implement appropriate corrective strategies.
  • Apply current research findings to clinical decision-making for common shoulder conditions, including appropriate use of manual therapy versus exercise interventions.
  • Organize effective home exercise programs that incorporate fascial stretching and functional movement patterns to enhance patient compliance and outcomes.
