What are the evidence-based clinical concepts that apply to multi-pathology of the shoulder? Is scapula stabilization the true core of the upper extremity? This session will reveal the most updated exercise techniques for restriction repositioning and protraction as well as discuss of use of pre-functional mobility to prepare for EMG-based muscle recruitment .Walk away with progressive exercises for the development of the healthy rotator cuff.
