Get the solutions for several shoulder complex pathologies in this insightful and important recording. Review and practice unique assessment tests to help you with early recognition of various pathologies. Improve treatment for your clients by examining the best evidence-based practices for conservative and post-op management, and by practicing glenohumeral and scapulothoracic mobilization techniques. Gain new tips and techniques you can implement tomorrow for:

• Rotator Cuff Tears
• Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
• Anterior Glenohumeral Instability
• SLAP Lesions
• Adhesive Capsulitis
• Thoracic Outlet Compression Syndrome
• Shoulder Arthroplasties

1. Identify the etiology of common shoulder complex pathologies and identify possible anatomic and other etiologic factors
2. Review which special tests should be used to identify complex shoulder pathologies and be able to apply these tests effectively
3. Determine which patients are appropriate candidates for conservative or should be referred for assessment as surgical candidates
4. Utilize effective mobilization techniques for a variety of shoulder conditions
5. Devise an appropriate treatment plan and enable effective patient intervention based on clinical findings
