BACKGROUND

As a physio with a keen interest in the upper limb I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from some of the worlds leading ‘experts’ during my 20+ years of clinical practice.

However, I found myself becoming more and more confused with the many conflicting and complicated methods and treatments which left me feeling lost and frustrated.

So I decided to go back to basics and do the simple things really well and soon realised that although painful shoulders are complex, their treatments don’t have to be complicated!

This widely acclaimed course is now recognised as one of the worlds leading shoulder assessment and treatment resources, and has been taught in over 20 countries to 1000’s of clinicians across all professions.

This course is constantly evolving and based on the latest research but also some simple, honest, and practical, evidence based principles that are adaptable and transferable too many other areas.

This course will provide you with the confidence and evidence that a simpler approach is both effective and efficient.

This course will provide you with an adaptable, patient centred approach, that is interactive and practical, and gets your body working just as hard as your brain.

This course is both informative and informal, educational and entertaining, giving lots of tips and ideas that you can use in clinic immediately.
