Beyond the Rotator Cuff: Evolution of Shoulder Training & Health
Not only is shoulder pain one of the most common injuries, but studies have found that on average 50% of people with shoulder pain complain of pain 6 months after even seeing their doctor! Many of our ways of looking at shoulder issues are still stuck in examining things like rotator cuffs, serratus anterior muscles, and hyper focusing on the shoulder itself. This shows how shortsighted our efforts have been to really identify the true issues of shoulder dysfunction.
In this webinar, Physical Therapist Jessica Bento and strength coach Josh Henkin will provide the most current research on the real culprits of shoulder issues. Once the true problem is understood, they will cover more effective strategies to improve shoulder health and performance. Please join us for this special event!
Learning Objectives:
- Discover why shoulder issues are typically a byproduct of dysfunction in other areas of the body.
- Understand why focusing on individual muscles of the shoulder will impede your results.
- Learn how the literature tells us that the shoulder is only as strong as the kinetic chain it works with.
- Apply the science of functional movement to develop more mobile and resilient shoulders.
- Identify the most common errors in developing shoulder strength and resilience.
* This webinar is intended for Healthcare Professionals.
