Understanding Shoulder Pain, Diagnosis & Rehabilitation
Develop a clear clinical framework for understanding shoulder pain, starting with the most common presentations seen in practice and how they typically evolve.
Explore underlying pain mechanisms and their relevance to assessment findings, helping you move beyond symptom-based thinking. Emphasis is placed on structured clinical reasoning, including taking and interpreting a thorough shoulder case history, to support accurate diagnosis and informed management decisions.

Osteopathic Mobilisation Techniques for the Shoulder
We cover the principles of joint mobilisation as they apply to the shoulder complex, with a focus on restoring movement and improving joint function.
Low Velocity Low Amplitude (LVLA) mobilisation techniques are explored in detail, alongside guidance on selecting the right approach for different clinical presentations. Strong emphasis is placed on safe clinical application, patient positioning, and appropriate technique selection.

Osteopathic & Chiropractic Manipulation of the Shoulder Complex
Examine both High Velocity Low Amplitude (HVLA) and LVLA manipulation techniques used in shoulder treatment. You’ll learn how to identify appropriate indications, recognise contraindications, and apply manipulation safely within a broader treatment plan. The integration of manipulation with rehabilitation strategies is emphasised to support long-term outcomes rather than short-term symptom relief.
