The Shoulder Complex Course is organized by Therapy Network Seminars (TNS) and will be held from Aug 17 - 18, 2019 at St. Mary's Medical Center, West Palm Beach, Florida, United States of America. Description: Successful evaluation and treatment of the shoulder complex entails an accurate understanding of its normal and abnormal anatomy, pathomechanics and biomechanics. Treatment of the shoulder can be complex and confusing based upon the multitude of approaches that exist. By utilizing a systematic approach, therapists and athletic trainers may focus on a problem-solving basis to accurately and successfully evaluate patients with a variety of shoulder conditions. Included in this two-day workshop is an overview of the most common orthopedic conditions in which therapeutic intervention is indicated, evaluation and treatment schemes to promote successful outcomes and significant lab time. Attendees will further their development involving effective evaluation and treatment (surgical as well as non-surgical); including differential diagnosis, manual therapy, exercise prescription and evidence supported treatment techniques for the shoulder proper. Educational Credit: A certificate of attendance for 15 Contact Hourswill be awarded to each participant.

Audience: This course is intended for PTs, PTAs, OTs, OTAs, and ATs NOTE: Nothing in this course is to enable or permit the learner to apply techniques outside of the scope of practice in their individual state and discipline. Objectives: • Identify evidence supported treatment techniques used in shoulder rehabilitation • Perform modified examination techniques and “special test” based upon history, screening and stage of the condition e.g. acute vs chronic • Perform basic and advanced mobilization and other manual therapy techniques to help facilitate normal recovery. • Demonstrate appropriate exercise prescription and dosing based on the stage of the condition and the recovery process.

Approved Provider  Conference Description: Neck pain leads to significant disability and limits functional abilities for patients at all levels. Treatment approaches can often be confusing due to dogmatic classification systems, which can be overly complicated and difficult to apply in a clinically meaningful way. However, patients with regional disorders often present with similar clinical presentations. These clinical presentations can often guide clinicians towards the best treatment options. This course is designed to be eclectic in its delivery to best suit the needs the busy clinician. Treatment approaches are organized based on categories that are consistent with how patients that report neck pain are likely to present. Clinical presentations such as chronic neck pain, radiculopathy, traumatic onset, asymmetric movements, headache or myofascial pain are common in clinical practice. This course will provide treatment options in a multimodal context that are grouped to address the most common clinical presentations. Finally, treatment approaches are organized in a logical way providing examples of how the treatments could be integrated. Objectives: • Identify relevant clinical cervicothoracic anatomy to facilitate evaluation and treatment of patients with neck pain. • Identify the most common clinical presentations associated with the cervicothoracic pain. • Identify examination findings associated with the most common cervicothoracic pain clinical presentations. • Identify treatment progressions based on clinical presentation and how to progress/regress treatment. • Demonstrate treatment procedures for a given clinical presentation. • Identify how treatment pathways may be altered for unique clinical situations in those with cervicothoracic pain.
