| Description | The shoulder complex (clavicle, humerus, scapula) is interconnected with the cervical and thoracic spine and rib cage making movement efficiency interdependent on each region. Understanding each system and the neuromuscular links between them is essential for successful treatment of the shoulder. This course will cover anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder girdle complex and provide a framework for assessing the kinetic chain in a simple flow with emphasis on clinical reasoning. Furthermore, the lab components will focus on treatment consisting of manual therapy of associated joints and soft tissues, corrective exercises that facilitate efficient movement and stabilization, as well as appropriate progressions. By the end of the course, the learner should feel comfortable treating any shoulder related condition. |
