Manual Therapy for Shoulder Impingement (Owens - Live Interactive Webinar)

Course overview

The prevalence of shoulder pain in the general population is estimated as being between 15 and 20%. It is the second most common reason for individuals with musculoskeletal dysfunction to seek treatment from general medical practitioners. Clinicians are faced with the challenge of performing a timely comprehensive examination that provides the necessary information for the development of a clear plan of care for patients and clients. Once the examination is complete, clinicians must choose the best evidence-based interventions that can be performed based on his or her psychomotor skill and the patient/clients preference. This course will assist clinicians with prioritizing examination tests and measures by presenting recent diagnosis related research for the shoulder complex. Participants will improve their clinical reasoning through study of case examples of patients with varying levels of functionality due to shoulder impingement. Manual therapy techniques will be presented through both live demonstration and clear, concise illustrated hand-out materials. Clinicians with all levels of experiences and expertise will be able to effectively manage patients with dysfunction due to shoulder impingement using a hands-on manual therapy approach.
