Course Overview
Recorded live at the Florida State Oriental Medicine Association's annual conference, this course covers orthopedic tests and movement assessments needed to properly diagnose and program sports medicine treatments for common shoulder pain syndromes.
The course begins with orthopedic and muscle testing of the glenohumeral joint and acromioclavicular joints. The tests are reliable and specific to properly diagnose and differentiate common shoulder injuries. Obtaining these tools will create confidence for the Acupuncturist in selecting precise local needle locations and drive proper meridian diagnosis for distal point selections.
The second section introduces movement assessments for the scapula, thoracic spine, and glenohumeral joint. The principles for assessing the difference between lack of mobility dysfunctions and motor control dysfunctions are heavily emphasized. Once you can accurately assess these dysfunctions and determine the exact cause of the dysfunction, either mobility or motor control, you can prescribe the appropriate corrective exercises. This differentiation is the biggest tool a sports medicine practitioner can add to create a more distinct practice.
The teacher, Derrick McBride, has 15+ years of experience as a Strength and Conditioning Coach. He's in a unique position to introduce extremely simple yet sophisticated corrective exercises. His favorites for each type of dysfunction for the most influential movement patterns are presented.
