who do not respond well, or who frequently present with recurring injury. The
skills taught will be applicable for patients of all ages, both non-sporty

factors for injuries in patients with shoulder and scapular pain and/ or
instability.
On
this course you will learn to:
Understand
the biomechanics and clinical anatomy of the scapulo-thoracic,
scapulo-humeral and cervical regions in a unique, clinically applicable
manner;
Recognise
abnormal scapular and glenohumeral positional changes and its effect on
the presenting pathology;
Understand
& identify the causative factors in various upper quarter syndromes;
Predict
risk for future injury of the upper quarter;
Assess
the upper quarter in detail. This includes postural, neural, relative
flexibility, sequencing and length-tension tests as well as a new
validated test to differentiate between scapular and glenohumeral
dysfunction. A novel assessment form is provided for immediate use in
the treatment room;
Perform
the important tests to identify various impingements &
instabilities;
Use
clinical reasoning to identify the source of symptoms and the
appropriate management.
Correctly
teach the patient stabilisation of the scapula, deep neck flexors and
glenohumeral joint, from the initial acute phase (in neutral) to full
return to their pre-injury level (dynamic control in elevated
positions).
Pre-habilitate
injury risk factors to prevent injury, minimise costs and allow the
professional athlete to be less hampered by persistent injury.
Correctly
utilise myofascial release techniques to myofascia with restricted
extensibility, such as Levator scapulae, Pectoralis minor, Infraspinatus
and Teres minor.
Progress
rehabilitation in functionally ideal positions for optimal return to the
patient’s pre-injury level.
Participants
will receive pre-course reading as revision of the anatomy of the
shoulder girdle (glenohumeral, scapulo-thoracic& scapulo-humeral)
