85- Shoulder cases: even experts can miss the mark with Audrey Long

💭 “It looks so much like spine. It would have been easy with him to stay with spine for even longer and not take that 5-10 min to look at his shoulder. And then, there is the opposite, where people leave the spine too quickly and miss not fully clearing the spine. There is a grey area that is difficult for even experienced clinicians to manage at times.`` - Audrey Long 👉🏻Our guest is Audrey Long, BScPT, Dip MDT, CPA, Clinical Specialist MSK.
