Course Description:
Specific diagnosis within the realm of shoulder pain can be problematic. While it is unrealistic for a single test to make a pathognomonic diagnosis, there are clinical tests with varying levels of sensitivity and specificity that, when clustered together, can aid the clinician in determining proper pathology. The clinician must decide between various manual techniques, exercises, modalities and adjunctive treatment techniques.

In this exciting, interactive, one–day seminar you will practice multiple specialized tests and determine how to cluster them to improve accuracy of diagnosis. Participants will have the opportunity to practice various mobilization and stabilization techniques to address limitations in range of motion and pain. Through hands–on labs and case studies, participants will be educated on current concepts in adjunctive treatment techniques, such as instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, therapeutic taping and ergonomic adaptations, which can be immediately incorporated into practice. The educational level of this course is intermediate.

Learning Objectives:
• Review shoulder anatomy and define orthopedic pain pathologies
• Identify and cluster provocative tests for the shoulder
• Perform manual techniques on the shoulder and scapula
• Explain concepts in adjunctive treatment techniques
• Develop treatment and home exercise plan
