Course Description

Rotator cuff injuries are very common, stemming from injury or repetitive overuse of the shoulder and these injuries can vary in the aging population. While rotator cuff tears are more common later in life, they also plague younger people, athletes and heavy laborers. The aging population is succeptible to rotator cuff injuries due to falls or strain the shoulder while performing every day activities. Left untreated, a rotator cuff injury can result in significant pain and a reduced mobility in the affected arm.

This course provides therapists with valuable tools to give their clients complete freedom from shoulder pain. Clinicians learn about rotator cuff injuries, how to release the affected muscles and prevention of future injuries. This course also covers proper sleep position, stretching and strengthening exercises for the rotator cuff that are essential for the health of the shoulder joint. This course is a must for any therapist interested in helping their clients attain an injury-free state.
