Patients not progressing with traditional rehabilitation?
Want to level up your rehab skills for complex shoulders?
Join our NZ clinical experts Dr Angela Cadogan and Dr Jacqui Clark (Specialist Physiotherapists) in this 2-Day Practical Course and master assessment and rehabilitation for complex shoulder conditions. All principles from this course can be applied to any musculoskeletal condition.
About the course
Dr Angela Cadogan (MSK Shoulder Specialist) and Dr Jacqui Clark (Pain Specialist) team up to share their years of experience to help you master the skills to effectively assess and rehabilitate factors that can limit progress with traditional rehabilitation including persistent pain, poor motor control, sensory deficits and neurodevelopmental factors. Become the ‘go to’ therapist for complex shoulder presentations!

- Learn how posture and alignment influence motor control.
- Motor control retraining techniques and progressions.
- Discover cortical enhancement techniques for symptom modification.
- Learn new sensory retraining techniques and tactile interventions to improve proprioception.
- New skills to rehabilitate normal muscle function that is affected by neurodevelopmental factors such as primitive reflex remnants.
