OVERVIEW

Treating the Complex Shoulder is organized by Niel Asher Education.

Course Overview
Across this 8-hour CE/CPD course, Rebecca Tyler explores complex shoulder presentations through a practical treatment-room framework that emphasizes movement quality, compensation patterns, rehabilitation progression, and functional recovery.

Participants will examine how thoracic mobility, scapular control, posture, breathing mechanics, movement fear, protective guarding, and load management influence shoulder dysfunction and rehabilitation outcomes.

The course moves beyond simply identifying painful structures and instead helps practitioners understand why dysfunction develops, how compensations emerge, and how treatment can be adapted to the individual client using a broader movement-based and rehabilitation-focused perspective.
