Shoulder Treatment and Rehabilitation: Module 2

So often as therapists we have carried out an effective subjective and objective examination, and get to the treatment and rehabilitation not knowing where to start. In this presentation important points from the latest shoulder injury prevention consensus statement are highlighted – points we are familiar with but need to be reminded of.  Addressing each of these allows us to make the rehabilitation process complete.  Understanding that our treatment and rehabilitation will include manual techniques and then providing appropriate home exercises to maintain and enhance what you are trying to achieve.  Addressing restrictions (what is short, tight or stiff) and weaknesses where active structures need to activated to create stability and strength.  Early to late stage rehabilitation ideas are included.
