Course Description
It is not lost on you that it is common to treat individuals with common upper extremity conditions such as rotator cuff related shoulder pain, shoulder laxity, and tendinopathies at the elbow and wrist, but are you following a comprehensive, evidence-informed approach? The goal of this lab-based course is to review evidence-based evaluative and treatment techniques that can be utilized for those presenting with common conditions of the upper extremity.
Learners will learn how to differentiate the pain mechanisms involved with these conditions as well as determine if the cervical spine is contributing to upper extremity symptoms. The course will focus on an evaluation and intervention approach grounded in a biopsychosocial and signs and symptoms reasoning model using manual therapy and exercise to empower people to reach their goals.
