Comprehensive Shoulder Rehabilitation

Shoulder problems can make everyday movements like reaching, lifting, exercising, sleeping, or working overhead painful and limiting. By the end of this course, learners will understand how shoulder anatomy, biomechanics, and common pathologies influence pain, movement restriction, and recovery, while learning practical rehabilitation strategies that support better function. Taught by osteopath and athletic trainer Rebecca Tyler, this course explores the shoulder as a complex and highly mobile joint system. Learners study clinical presentations of conditions such as frozen shoulder, impingement, labral tears, and other common sources of shoulder dysfunction. Through expert video instruction, case examples, and step-by-step demonstrations, learners explore shoulder assessment, movement analysis, manual therapy applications, corrective exercise, and progressive rehabilitation planning. Healthcare, fitness, bodywork, and rehabilitation professionals will gain a practical framework for evaluating and treating shoulder dysfunction, while general learners will better understand why shoulder pain can be complex and how recovery is supported. This course connects anatomy, pathology, manual therapy, and exercise-based rehab into a clear approach for improving shoulder mobility, strength, and function.

Frozen shoulder can be painful, frustrating, and slow to recover from, often limiting everyday movements such as reaching overhead, dressing, lifting, or sleeping comfortably. By the end of this course, learners will understand the stages of frozen shoulder and how massage and soft-tissue techniques can be adapted to support pain relief, mobility, and recovery through each phase. Guided by Maureen Abson, LMT, this course explains the pathology of frozen shoulder, including how pain, stiffness, inflammation, and restricted range of motion develop over time. Learners are introduced to a structured, phase-specific approach that helps match treatment goals to the client’s current stage of recovery. Through studio-filmed demonstrations, learners explore safe positioning, soft-tissue techniques, movement progression, range-of-motion considerations, and client education strategies. Massage and bodywork professionals will gain practical tools for working with a challenging shoulder condition, while non-clinical learners will better understand why frozen shoulder can take time to improve and how targeted care may support recovery. This course offers a clear, practical framework for managing frozen shoulder with greater confidence and care.
