Human anatomy is truly fascinating and is one of the reasons why I wanted to design a course specifically about the muscles & motion of the shoulder complex.
In my experience, student therapists struggle to learn the basic components of anatomy, especially to the region of the shoulder complex and this can be for many reasons. I wanted to design a mini-course purely about the functional anatomy of the musculature of the shoulder complex and trust me once I say this; you are going to learn so much about the shoulder region during this course.
John Gibbons is a multi-published author of many anatomical books, an osteopath and a lecturer and he will bring all his years of expertise and experience and this will be demonstrated during this mini-course.
First, he will teach you the theoretical components of the musculature of the shoulder complex; including the rotator cuff muscles, then we move on the motion and scapulohumeral rhythm (2:1 ratio) of the scapula & humerus. Included within this course will be techniques demonstrated from mobilisation, soft tissue and athletic / kinesiology taping.
Once you have learnt the theoretical components, he will take you on a practical ‘journey’ of enlightenment through the visual presentations and interactions of using real-life human anatomy.
Key areas covered:
-
- Functional anatomy of the musculature of the shoulder complex
- Motion & scapulohumeral rhythm of the shoulder complex
- Mobilisation techniques - impingement syndrome
- Myofascial soft tissue techniques for the rotator cuff muscles
- Athletic & Kinesiology taping for impingement syndrome
On completion of the mini-course you will have the underlying and fundamental anatomical knowledge necessary to identify and discuss the majority of muscles & motion of the anatomical structures located within the shoulder complex.
