Take a look behind the scenes at some clips from this content-packed 6-week program
What's Included In This Shoulder Specialist Course...
Week 1
Functional Anatomy and Biomechanics
Understanding the structures that make up the shoulder complex is critical in knowing how to evaluate and treat it. We'll talk about:
- The Rotator Cuff + Shoulder Blade Stabilizers
- Scapular Mechanics
- Force Couples and Synergistic Patterns
Youâll finish this module with a better foundation of muscle actions and functional movement patterns.
Week 2
Neuroplasticity and Motor Learning
If you're a science nerd, like me, this module will be a LOT of fun and packed with information to shift your treatment approach. Things like:
- How understanding the brain can help us fix the shoulder
- How our brain programs movement and how to retrain it
- Understanding movement compensations
Youâll finish this week with a better understanding of the brain-body connection and how to integrate that in your treatments.
Week 3
Shoulder Pathology + Differential Diagnosis
We will do a deep dive into the most frequently seen shoulder injuries and how to test for them, including:
- Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy and Tears
- Shoulder Impingement (SAPS)
- Shoulder Labrum Injuries + Instability
Youâll finish this week with a better understanding of the patterns and presentations of these pathologies for more accurate diagnostics.
Week 4
The Scapula
It's no secret I love talking about the Scapula, but for good reason. Understanding this bone is critical. We'll talk about:
- Foundational movements of the scapula
- How to assess and improve scapular mechanics
