Shoulder Joint and Upper Limb in Physiotherapy Practice

Shoulder Joint and Upper Limb in Physiotherapy Practice – Differential Diagnosis and Treatment of Functional Disorders

Date: Coming soon

Course content: This course focuses on the differential diagnosis and therapy of functional disorders in the shoulder girdle and upper limb. Participants will learn to differentiate between local and referred sources of pain involving the scapula, shoulder, elbow, and wrist. The course includes diagnostic procedures to identify specific pathologies, stability and strength testing, palpation, and manual treatment. Clinical conditions such as impingement syndrome, tennis/golfer’s elbow, and carpal tunnel syndrome will be addressed with emphasis on myofascial relationships, neurodynamics, and visceral connections. Therapists will be equipped with techniques to treat soft tissues, fascia, trigger points, and joint dysfunctions within the broader movement chain.
