Evaluation and Treatment of the Frozen Shoulder

Course overview

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a challenging diagnosis to treat in therapy. This course outlines the characteristics of adhesive capsulitis, including a passive capsular pattern at the shoulder, and then dissects the differences between primary and secondary adhesive capsulitis. These differences significantly affect the course of treatment. Several manual therapy techniques and other treatment principles will be highlighted. This course is designed for occupational therapists and physical therapists who treat shoulder conditions.
