Treating The Shoulder

Shoulders can be tricky, but with focused treatment they often respond superbly.

Good Technique Really Makes a Difference

With examination or treatment, great technique wins the day. And that's so true for the shoulder.

It's such a compex joint and so inter-related with the rest of the body that you can't just throw treatment at it and expect to get results. But the good news is that it's a joint that responds really really well to effective treatment.

And after treatment when the patient can lift their arm much higher and with less pain, then immediately they have that 'wow' moment.  And it's those 'wow' moments that are the key to more patients and a full list.

That's what this course is all about

Learning what works and what doesn't. Including:

  • How to Examine quickly, and treat effectively.
  • Which orthopaedics to do and which to ignore.
  • About primary cause and not side tracking onto symptoms.

It's about honing in on what gets you great change with your patient. Great examination, great treatment and the delivery of those techniques through a framework that will work for every single patient.

This is an online course with video tutorials showing you step by step.

  • How to examine effectively, including orthopaedics and muscle testing.
  • How to diagnose shoulder presentations and identify the primary
  • How to perform techniques for the shoulder, scapula, A/C and scapula
  • How to perform effective rehabiliation with the patient.
  • When to refer and for what and how to interpret referal reports

"Classes are full of wonderful, easy to understand information, that makes a huge difference in your practice. Jonathan is a wonderful teacher, always helping his students and makes learning easy and fun"

Jennifer Maire
Osteopath - Ontario Canada

"Easy to navigate the clear and concise courses, exceptionally responsive to questions, love the generous online discussions and pop-up FB lives for integration."

Darcy Dee
CST Practitioner - Colarado USA

"Jonathan is a fantastic teacher. He teaches in a simple and intuitive way that’s easy to follow and understand. He has a way of making seemingly complicated principles easy to follow and shows you ways to implement it in clinic by trusting what you feel without being overly robotic or formulaic. He helps you gain an understanding of having a good flow in treatment. He continually improves upon his courses (eg. how it’s shot, how the material is delivered), so that the quality of his videos are always top-notch. I took his pelvis, low back, viscera treatment courses, as well as, his mentorship program. Jonathan is very helpful at answering any of your questions and very responsive if you have a concern that needs addressing. Highly recommend his courses"

Jamiy Chua
Osteopath - Canada

"I have subscribed to the low back pain and the treating babies courses and find them both to be extremely helpful. The videos are clear and concise. I love being able to dip in and out and watch the videos back as and when I need to. The FB group is also extremely supportive and Jonathan is so helpful and understanding that you never feel stupid asking any questions. Would highly recommend"

Hannah Knibbs
Osteopath - UK

"Great content. Easy to understand. Love that I’m able to learn at a time that suits me! Thanks"

Dr Kimberly Coad
Osteopath - Australia

"I'll admit to being slightly sceptical about learning via video, but I found the Ribs course to be very helpful, and I use the techniques most days in clinic. Shortly after completing the course, I had a patient present with a very similar rib MOI as Jonathon sustained in his personal case study. Within 3 treatments he was pain free. I have now signed up for a second course treating the pelvis, and am looking forward to what it will teach me"

Steve McMullen
Osteopath, UK

"I have taken the Baby on-line course and am now in the midst of completing the treatment of Acute Low Back Pain course. I find all of the material that Jonathan presents to be extremely informative and highly effective when implementing them into my treatment plans. I am a very visual learner so these are perfect for me. Jonathan is very motivating and most helpful. Whenever I am presented with difficult cases even though they are off topic he immediately helps by making individual videos pertaining to my questions. He is very "hands on" with his teaching even though we are miles apart. Would highly recommend these learning tools to everyone. "

Gail Macdonald
Osteopath - UK

"Jonathan is an amazing teacher, i have learnt and developed in my career so much thanks to the mentor-ship program and are already looking forward to doing the other courses provided with kindred academy. If you are looking to further develop your all round skills as an Osteopath, then i would 200% recommend the kindred academy courses."

Alan Johnson
Osteoapth - UK

"I found Kindred Academy over a year ago and quickly fell in love with the community. I was feeling lost with my osteopathy. I was in a place that was not known for this practice and had no peers to turn to or to learn from. Finding this community has changed my life and brought me closer to the art of osteopathy and I own this to Jonathan, the founder of Kindred Academy. He gives amazing advice and really tries to be a staple for the online community of the osteopathic practice. If you have not checked out his courses, I can honestly say DO IT! "

Trevor Cragg
Osteopath - Canada

"Jonathan's natural talent and passion for teaching is infectious these courses have really given me the courage and the confidence to to develop my own skill set in this field. These courses have a beautiful way of allowing you to explore the concepts presented, but in a way that is very relevant to your own particular way of treating and practicing. Thanks Jonathan for shining a light on my own Osteopathic journey with the guidance of your years of experience, exploration and insight."

Dr Beck Marks

"I have purchased several of Jonathan's video courses. He is an excellent teacher and has a very common sense and gentle way of teaching and working. He is a credit to the Osteopathy community and I hope he continues his mentoring for many years to come."

The Course Syllabus

This Module focuses on the overall picture for success with the shoulder and gives structure to all the numerous technique and exam videos that this course provides. It includes

  • Our aims with treatment
  • How to achieve theem
  • Overcoming obstacles to success.

There is so much to examine in the shoulder and surrounding areas so it's essential that we know exactly what to examine and how to do that quickly and effectively. This module includes

  • Scapula Dynamics
  • Humeral Head Mechanics
  • Key Muscles that cause problems
  • The Clavicle and AC joint

 

It demonstrates how to examine these effectively and how we build our examination so that whatever type of shoulder complaint presents to us we are confident to examine and work out where the problems are

There are a huge number of orthopaedics tests for the shoulder, so what's important is knowing which one suit our needs and how to perform them correctly. This module covers

  • Distinguishing Between Large and Small Rotator Cuff Tears
  • Assessing for Impingement
  • SLAP lesions and Biceps Problems
  • Effective Muscle Testing
  • Xray and Ultrasound reports - Case Studies
  • Identifying Primary causes

Effective Treatment is a key to success - it includes what tissues to treat, how to treat and in what order. This module will teach you this through the Six Phases to Success.

  • Phase 1 – The Muscles
  • Phase II – More Motion
  • Phase III – Axilla & Capsule
  • Phase IV – A/C, Clavicle, Scapula
  • Phase V - Effective Rehabilitation
  • Phase VI Preventing Re-Injury

 

As the shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body it can benefit hugely from rehab, but this mobility also means that it can also easly be damaged and hindered by rehab. This module will teach you many different ways to effectively rehab shoulders including

  • Functional Movement
  • Passive Rehabilitation
  • Challenging The Tissues Correctly
  • Static Stabilisation and Integration
  • Dynamic Stabilisation and Integration
  • Turning off Muscles
  • Re-Injury Prevention

Thee course also contains 5 voluntary assessments that will reinforce what you are learning. These assessments are eligble for continuing education credits as is the time you take watching the course videos.

Make Your Upskilling Work

During my Osteopathic career have built three successful clinics, but not by advertising, 'free' consults or other marketing ideas - but through strong technical skills like those that you will learn on this course.

What's the best way to grow a successful practice? It's though getting people better.

"Fixing Patients is Always the Best Advertising"

That's why this course will pay you back time and time again.

When you fix more patients you get more word of mouth referals. And that's how you build a strong practice, because that not only brings in more patients it means you also save money by needing to do less advertising.

Our clinic is a classic example of this, our patient's do our advertising and they're delighted to do it. Why because they know they can trust our skills and they get to share in the 'success' when a friend or family member gets better.

30 Day Money Back Promise.

This course draws on years of clinical experience and many years teaching and mentoring osteopathic students and that's why I believe you will love it.

But if it's not right for you then anytime within the first 30 days of purchase simply email me and I will refund your money. my email is [email protected]  

I have an established clinic and an established teaching academy, and the price promise is there to help show you how committed I am to the long term growth of Kindred Academy. I will happily refund you if you don't feel this course was value for money.
