Are you interested in treating shoulder pain but don't know where to go for the latest clinical content?
If so, well then congratulations! You've made a great choice by checking our Essentials of Shoulder Rehabilitation course out today.
This program was originally created to help fitness and healthcare professionals evaluate the shoulder in throwing athletes in what was once called "The Throwing Shoulder" Program. The first location of this course was at the prestigious Stanford University back in 2016.
Welcome to MWRI's Essentials of Shoulder Rehabilitation program!
This innovative rehabilitation program of study focuses exclusively on the shoulder complex.
Complex, but NOT complicated...
This is a course for rehabilitation professionals (and students) looking to refine their understanding to the fundamental principles of working with patients. The emphasis will be placed on the complete and proper rehabilitation of shoulder injuries.
Course Description: If you work with THROWING athletes, developing a keen understanding of shoulder mechanics in the presence of pain is essential to facilitate optimal outcomes. This 2-day course is designed for practitioners looking to be fast tracked when it comes to transforming the lives of pitchers and overhead athletes of all sporting activities out of the traditional medical model for the treatment of common shoulder conditions and back to consistent, healthy & active living. An emphasis will be placed on communication strategies, motivational strategies, and an extensive biomechanical analysis as it relates to addressing the current evidence regarding the PERSON in pain (an enactive approach). Cognitive biases and common rehabilitation myths will be a primary focus of the first half of the course considering that patients often present to our clinics with pre-determined notions of what caused their ailment, in addition to what several other individuals have told them to be going on, which oftentimes contradicts the current available evidence for that condition. An example of this is the current increase in cortisone injections for rotator cuff tendinopathy. This poses a unique set of challenges for modern, evidence-based practitioners that often go under-appreciated and result in patients not "buying in" to your treatment plan.
While this course is not a business course, there are several topics of discussion that overlap between the common motivational interviewing techniques and the sales of our services for patients that seamlessly fit into the patient encounter.
This course is PACE Approved for chiropractors.
Course Objectives Include:
1. Comprehend motivating factors in shoulder care
2. Addressing the complete elements of the patient in pain.
3. Enhancing patient expectations & compliance for optimal shoulder function.
4. Integration of pain mechanisms in progressive rehabilitation exercises.
5. Challenges in healthcare & patient belief systems
6. The modern advancements of physical medicine
7. Critically assessing treatment interventions & common logical fallacies in fitness and healthcare.
8. Returning to Participation, Returning to Training & Returning to Competition.
9. Tracking patient & client workloads.
10. Tracking patient & client sleep patterns, disturbances and addressing a major issue in health.
11. A systematic approach to the Home Exercise Program (HEP) that is convenient for both provider and patient to implement.
