The Shoulder - Steps to Success 2-Day Course
Jo Gibson MSc MCSP
Jo worked as a Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist in the Liverpool Upper Limb Unit for 28 years and has been teaching her shoulder course for over 25 years. During her career she has travelled all over the UK, Europe and the rest of the world to work with and observe some of the World’s leading shoulder experts.
Her involvement in original research, study at Masters level and vast experience of treating patients with shoulder problems has enabled her to develop a simple, evidence-informed approach to rehabilitation of the shoulder that is immediately applicable in practice.
The course is constantly updated to reflect emerging evidence and how it impacts practice but essentially reflects the approach Jo uses every day in her clinical practice to the benefit of patients. The course is designed to be honest, fun and interactive and includes plenty of treatment tips and real-life examples to ensure the course content is immediately transferable into practice.
Learning Objectives
- Review the challenges posed by the current evidence regarding assessment and
management of patients with shoulder pain. - To demonstrate a simple structured approach to assessment to inform immediately
where to start with treatment. - To examine the role and relevance of the kinetic chain in shoulder pain and the potential
to facilitate rehabilitation. - To explore simple treatment approaches based on the current evidence to successfully
manage patients with common shoulder conditions within a biopsychosocial framework. - To explore collaborative exercise selection, dosage, movement -based and strength
based interventions – when and why? - To examine factors impacting pain sensitivity and tissue health and how this informs
management. - To discuss factors that influence outcome and enhance exercise adherence and explore
strategies to address them. - To consider the importance of communication and language on patient’s pain experience
