Description
This is a 2-day course. Saturday, 8:30-5:00 Sunday 8:00-12:00. The shoulder complex (clavicle, humerus, scapula) is interconnected with the cervical and thoracic spine and rib cage making movement efficiency interdependent on each region. Understanding of each system and the neuromuscular links between them is essential for successful treatment of the shoulder. This course will cover anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder girdle complex including the upper thoracic spine, rib cage, scapula, and glenohumeral joint in detail, a framework for assessing the kinetic chain in a simple flow, and establishing of clinical reasoning to the findings. Treatment consisting of manual therapy and specific exercise prescription will be provided.
Objectives

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics, and efficient movement of the shoulder girdle complex.
  • Perform a correct thorough upper quadrant evaluation, reason through findings, and recognize the pathomechanics to various shoulder pathologies.
  • Utilize manual therapy techniques to perform 1st rib, scapula, associated soft tissue, and glenohumeral mobilizations as well as have clinical rationale for doing each technique.
  • Explain the science behind inhibition and be able to apply neuromuscular principles to improve muscle facilitation.
  • Design an effective home exercise program to ensure lasting improvements.
