Want to stay up-to-date on industry trends?
If shoulder presentations feel unpredictable or difficult to interpret, you’re not alone. This online course gives you a simple, evidence-informed framework to understand what you’re seeing, why symptoms behave the way they do, and how to plan shoulder rehabilitation with far more certainty.
Whether you’re early in your career or refining your clinical reasoning, this course helps you build the knowledge and structure behind confident decision-making.
This course is designed for clinicians who want to improve clarity, reasoning, and confidence with shoulder rehabilitation, including:
* Exercise Physiologists
* Exercise Scientists
* Physiotherapists / Osteopaths / Chiropractors
* New graduates and early-career clinicians
* Anyone treating shoulder pain who wants more structure and less guesswork
If you’ve ever wondered “where do I start?” or “why is this shoulder not improving?”, this course gives you the answers.
A repeatable, clinically relevant way to interpret shoulder presentations
By the end of this course you will be able to:
* Recognise clinically meaningful patterns
* Identify key drivers behind shoulder symptoms
* Understand irritability and how it shapes treatment choices
* Interpret assessments and movement findings with more clarity
* Choose safe, appropriate starting points for rehab
* Plan early→mid→late stage rehab with more precision
* Avoid common progression and reasoning errors
This is the foundation that makes practical skills easier, safer, and more effective.
Module 1 — Functional Anatomy, Biomechanics & Structural Considerations
A concise, clinically focused overview of the anatomical and biomechanical concepts that matter for shoulder assessment and rehabilitation.
Module 2 — Shoulder Clinical Presentations
Learn the key shoulder presentation patterns, how to recognise them, and what they reveal about the underlying drivers and priorities.
Module 3 — Clinical Assessment
A simple, structured approach to interpreting assessment findings, movement patterns, irritability, and functional tasks.
Module 4 — Rehabilitation Program Design
Practical guidance on selecting starting points, planning progressions, and matching exercise choices with the client’s presentation.
Module 5 — Case Applications & Rehabilitation Pathways
Real-world examples that bring the reasoning framework together—mapping presentation → interpretation → program design.
Evidence-informed but clinically practical
Focused solely on what actually improves reasoning—not textbook noise.
Clear structure for decision-making No more guessing.
You’ll learn a repeatable framework for every shoulder you see.
Designed specifically for EPs, ESs, and rehab professionals
The content is tailored to the reality of applied rehab,
not passive treatment models.
Short, targeted modules
Easy to complete, revisit, and apply instantly with your caseload.
Perfect on its own or before attending the practical workshop
Build your theory first, then bring it to life in the in-person course.
* Delivery: Online, self-paced
* Access: Immediate access upon enrolment
* Content: Video lessons, diagrams, reasoning frameworks
* Resources: Downloadable notes + clinical interpretation templates
* Completion: Certificate on finishing all modules
* Time Commitment: Approx. 6-7 hours in total
(designed for quick mastery, not long lectures)
Do I need the practical course as well?
No. The theory course stands alone, but many clinicians choose to attend the practical day to apply the reasoning framework hands-on.
Is the course suitable for new graduates?
Yes—this is exactly the kind of structured reasoning early-career clinicians find most valuable.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime access. Revisit modules anytime.
Is there a certificate?
Yes. A certificate is provided once all modules are completed.
