ADAM MEAKINS
„THE PAINFUL SHOULDER – Complex ≠ Complicated“
Information
This fun and informal two day course is designed for all therapists, regardless
of their professional titles or experience, who are looking for a patient-centred,
pragmatic, and practical approach to the assessment and management of all
painful shoulder issues.
This course aims to give all attending the confidence that doing the simple
things really well is both effective and evidence based. It also attempts to cut
through most of the bullshit and show how many of the over complicated and
confusing methods of assessment and treatments are just not needed.
However, this course doesn’t promise any miracle cures or quick fixes! Instead,
it focuses on a simple, honest, and practical approach that gives you lots of tips
and ideas that you can use immediately with all who have painful shoulders.
