With aging comes structural and functional changes to the shoulder complex. Decreased sensation, stiffness, pain, weakness, and edema to name a few.

To make it more challenging… these gradual changes are tough to describe. Making it difficult to collect a thorough history and review of symptoms to pinpoint the root cause.

And when your go-to assessment and treatment approaches are not quite working, your patients are frustrated… feeling dejected, still in pain during activities they enjoy, and seeking surgical consults.

But don’t worry… With new developments in shoulder differential diagnosis and treatment, becoming the shoulder specialist to help your aging patients back to pain-free participation in the activities they love is easier than ever.

Best part is it doesn’t stop there… If your patient does require surgery, this comprehensive training will have you readily equipped with updated practices for new surgical options, so YOU can design the most effective rehab program!

From the Pickleball court to picking up precious grandbabies. Register today and discover strategies to help your patients stay active while aging.
