Course Description
This evidence-based theoretical and practical course is based on extensive clinical
experience in assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation of shoulder pathology, as well
as extensive reference to research publications from a variety of disciplines. A number
of pathologies will be discussed together with appropriate assessment and treatment
techniques, and the evidence supporting the use of these assessment and treatment
procedures will also be presented. Participants completing this course will gain a
greater understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics, assessment and evidence-based
treatment of this interesting and complicated region of the body. This course has
achieved international recognition and has been taught in numerous countries around
the world.
Course Content:
Day 1:
 Introduction and epidemiology
 Clinical anatomy and biomechanics
This session reviews the anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder region from the
clinical perspective. Use is made of cadaver, imaging, biomechanical and video models
of the shoulder region.
 Subjective and physical examination
This clinically orientated session highlights the components of the subjective and
physical examination of the shoulder that will assist the clinician through the clinical
reasoning process. It will include scapular repositioning procedures, functional
glenohumeral repositioning tests, determining the influence of the thoracic spine on
the shoulder symptoms. The session will also consider procedures to differentiate
shoulder pain arising from the cervical spine and visceral tissues. A variety of tests to
investigate the structural integrity of the shoulder will be included, as well as clinical
sensorimotor control testing. A critical discussion on the role of soft tissue and joint
palpation involving joint mobilisation, myofascial trigger point therapy and
acupuncture therapy will also be included. A critical review of the role of imaging in
the shoulder examination will be included.
 Posture, muscle imbalance and shoulder pain
This theoretical and practical session involves a detailed and critical review of the
proposed effect of the influence of posture and muscle imbalance on shoulder
pathology. Assessment and rehabilitation programmes are presented.
 Management of acute shoulder pain
This clinically orientated session details recommendations for the management of
acute shoulder pain. This session will include a critical appraisal of the use of joint
mobilisation, acupuncture and myofascial pain syndrome in the management of the
shoulder pain and is aimed at facilitating the clinician through the clinical reasoning
process.
Day 2:
 Shoulder impingement syndrome / Rotator cuff disease
This theoretical and practical session involves a very detailed and in-depth review of
this multi-factorial problem. The current evidence based research across a number of
professions evidence regarding the aetiology and pathology of this condition will be
presented in detail. This session includes a review of the evidence supporting various
rehabilitation strategies, and will include recommendations for treatment from the
acute through chronic stages of rehabilitation, including sensorimotor techniques.
Conservative versus surgical outcomes will be considered, as will the evidence base for
steroid injections and NSAIDs in the management of this condition.
 The stiff and restricted shoulder
Theoretical and practical session including pathology, assessment and treatment
techniques for the stiff and restricted shoulders. This session involves a number of
new mobilisation techniques and a discussion on the merits of sustained versus
oscillatory styles of mobilisation including their evidence base and their clinical
effectiveness.
 Taping techniques for the shoulder
Discussion on the evidence base of taping techniques. Demonstration and practice
of techniques, and, rationale and basis for their efficacy.
 Latest developments / Patient scenarios / Discussion

pathologies including; the acute shoulder, shoulder impingement syndrome, rotator cuff, the
stiff and restricted shoulder, the unstable shoulder, shoulder pain syndromes, and pain
referred to the shoulder.
