Description

The shoulder is a complex body region that is also the most mobile joint in the body. When treating the shoulder, clinicians must choose between mobility, stability, and flexibility interventions along with making sure to properly dose them. This course will discuss the evidence-based rehabilitation stages of treating the shoulder to help clinicians best use their time. Participants will review the evidence behind the mobility treatment, EMG studies, and strength and conditioning principles we use to help them best treat their patients. At the end of the course, participants will have improved treatment progression skills they can use the next day in the clinic.

Highlights

  • Improve stability, mobility, and flexibility through different stages of shoulder rehabilitation
  • Review the evidence behind mobility treatments, EMG studies, and strength and conditioning principles
  • Rehabilitation techniques including more in-depthreview and practice of proper dosage for most common injuries/dysfunctions
