Dr. Jean-Michel Brismèe and Dr. Phil Sizer explain in this online course how differentiate, through a precise clinical diagnosis, common sources of pain and causes of dysfunctions associated with the shoulder joint complex. By being more specific in the musculoskeletal diagnosis, treatment can become more effective and specific.

The IAOM-US Diagnosis and Management of the Shoulder and Shoulder Girdle online course takes an in-depth look at primary and secondary pathoanatomy, biomechanics, basic and specific clinical examination and interpretation, management suggestions and specific approaches to diagnose and treat shoulder and shoulder girdle related disorders.
