Modalities & Techniques
This theoretical session will present the components of the Shape-Up-My-Shoulder (#SUMS) Rehabilitation Program that may be considered for the majority of musculoskeletal shoulder presentations. The presentation includes finding a ‘safe’ entry point into rehabilitation and how to progress, from the earlier stages to the end ‘chaotic’ stage of rehabilitation. Patient education, promotion of self-efficacy and self-management. The lecture will emphasize the importance of holistic care and argue that exercise and touch (manual / hands-on) therapy in the presence of unhealthy lifestyles will not produce the benefits that patients and clinicians are hoping for.
Learning Points:
· Rehabilitation (and not surgery) should be considered as the first choice for the majority of non-traumatic musculoskeletal shoulder conditions
· An introduction to the components of the Shape Up My Shoulder Rehabilitation Program
· Why exercise without addressing lifestyle will not produce the benefits that patients and clinicians are hoping for
