The Rotator Cuff Part 1:

In this comprehensive online course, designed for musculoskeletal health professionals, we take a deep dive into the epidemiology and aetiology of rotator cuff pathology, subacromial impingement and why it’s being heavily challenged, pain and it’s relationship to shoulder patho-anatomy, predictors of clinical outcomes, and the utility of radiological imaging.

The Rotator Cuff Part 2:

In this follow up course to Part 1, we focus on putting theory into practice and teach you how to conduct a thorough and appropriate subjective and physical examination of the shoulder, and to develop an effective treatment plan for patients with rotator cuff pain.
