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 functional anatomy of the musculature of the shoulder complex and trust me one 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 onto 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
