Shoulder Physiotherapy Course

The Shoulder Physiotherapy Course represents a specialized certificate program that will be open to physiotherapists, sports medicine practitioners, and rehabilitation professionals who want to learn how to effectively manage shoulder injuries. This course is a fully online course that covers the full spectrum of shoulder injury management from anatomy and biomechanics to more advanced rehabilitative and return-to-function strategies.

The participant will obtain a comprehensive understanding of specific shoulder joint mechanics, rotator cuff injuries, impingent syndromes, dislocations, and rehabilitation around shoulder surgeries. These theoretical components will be taught alongside practical demonstrations of manual therapy, manual mobilizations, soft-tissue release techniques, and strengthening exercises to develop an optimal complete rehabilitative skill set.

Using a mixture of guided video lessons and case-based learning, the participant develops clinical reasoning and clinical decision-making processes that are essential for assessing shoulder function and developing individualized treatment plans.

This course will be an ideal course for practicing clinicians, students, and trainers looking for evidence-based learning versus other methods that may not have application or evidence-based support in real-world clinical practice.

Upon successfully completing the course, the participant will obtain a Certified Shoulder Physiotherapy Credential which recognizes one's competencies as a professional. Shortly after completing the course, and earning the Certificate, the graduate therapist will feel confident in assessing, rehabilitating and improving the shoulder function of their patients in the orthopedic, sports, and post-operative clinical settings to complement and contribute to their scope of practice and clinical reputation.
