In Understanding Shoulder Pain and Dysfunction we will dive deep into the shoulder girdle, glenohumeral joint, elbow and wrist anatomy (muscles, bones, joints, ligaments and other structures). In addition, we will teach you orthopedic tests and functional assessment protocols to help you provide a finer tuned treatment to your clients. We will learn about common dysfunctions such as thoracic outlet syndrome, bursitis, rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, epicondylitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
