Description
This course is the ultimate guide for assessing clients who have complaints of functional shoulder pain. Students are introduced to the musculoskeletal components of the shoulder. The focus then shifts to assessment techniques for identifying weaknesses or mal-alignments in various parts of the kinetic chain. Specific pathologies are then discussed (i.e. subacromial impingement, adhesive capsulitis). Students learn how each pathology is due to the previously identified weaknesses or mal-alignments. The final component of the course emphasizes which exercises can be used to treat specifically identified weakness and mal-alignments.
