An in-depth look at shoulder disease with internationally renowned clinician Ian Horsley.
Shoulders are complex structures and can cause confusion in clinical practice. If you only think of the muscles, the number is immense and intimidating, and that's not even the 17 attached to the shoulder blade.
This makes clinical thinking and understanding what you see difficult to interpret. But fear not, we have some excellent courses as part of our shoulder program that will help you cut the complexity straight down to the most common pathology to look out for in your clinical practice.

Sternoclavicular joint dysfunction

Despite its importance, it is often ignored in the physiotherapy assessment and management of shoulder pain. Minor sternoclavicular joint dysfunction can manifest itself as severe shoulder and arm dysfunction and pain. This course examines the anatomy, biomechanics, assessment and management of the sternoclavicular joint.

Subacromial Space Impingement – Space Invaders
The shoulder is one of the most complex regions of the body to be rehabilitated. One of the most common causes of shoulder pain is the dreaded shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS). Dr. Ian Horsley, understood more as a mechanism than a diagnosis, examines this often misunderstood classification of shoulder pain and outlines the underlying anatomical considerations as well as the best rehabilitation strategies for clinical practice. This course is ideal for any clinician who wants to better understand shoulder biomechanics and effectively identify and treat the different types of shoulder impingements.
