Scapular Rehab Science and Skills: An Evidence-Based Approach
65
About the Course:
This evidence-based course expounds on the science behind scapular rehab as well as reviews kinematic, special assessments, and verified therapeutic exercises for scapular dysfunction. The wide scope of impairments that are interdependent with scapular dysfunctions are identified. Extensive evidence-based references support efficacy of the selected exercises, manual techniques, and taping that are structured for immediate clinical application.
Course Objectives:
At the end of this course the participant will be able to:
