When Shoulder Pain Is NOT A Shoulder Problem
from The New Grad Physio Podcast · host Andy Barker
It is so easy to treat the wrong shoulder pain problem. You find a ACJ problem... So you treat the ACJ. You diagnose a rotator cuff, bursa or proximal bicep injury, so you focus your attention on that injury... Even though your patient does not actually have a problem at that part of the shoulder! WTF!!! Why would you expect your patient to improve if you are treating the wrong thing? Listen to this week's podcast episode to learn more. Enjoy the show! PS. In the podcast I referred to my recent shoulder pain training 'Simplifying The Shoulder.' Bad news is that you've missed the live show... Good news is that you can get access to this special training via my New Grad Physio programme. Find out how right here.
