Description
This masterclass walks you through the full shoulder rehabilitation journey the way it actually happens in the clinic. We start with a structured assessment framework — history, red flags, movement analysis, and strength testing — then build progressive loading programs for rotator cuff pathology, adhesive capsulitis, and post-operative repairs. Every module ends with real case discussions so you can see the reasoning, not just the protocol. By the end you will be able to design, progress, and regress a shoulder program with confidence, and communicate your plan clearly to both patients and surgeons. The course includes downloadable assessment sheets and exercise progression charts you can use in your practice immediately.
