You've identified the condition. You've assessed it thoroughly. Now how do you load it?

This is the session where everything becomes practical. 

Module 3 of the Shoulder Essentials series moves beyond assessment and into the treatment room — giving you a structured, evidence-based framework to design shoulder rehabilitation programmes from early-stage loading all the way through to return to function.
You'll learn why loading direction changes which muscles work hardest, when different loading types actually matter in your programming, and how to use current dosage evidence to prescribe with confidence rather than guesswork. 

We'll cover how to stage rehabilitation for both rotator cuff-related shoulder pain and glenohumeral instability with equal depth, so you walk away with a clear exercise progression framework for the two most common shoulder presentations you'll manage in clinic.
We'll also tackle the stuff that doesn't get enough airtime: how to use pain monitoring to make daily load management decisions, why criteria-based progression beats time-based protocols, and what the evidence says about the psychosocial factors and self-management strategies that actually predict who gets better and who doesn't.

If you've ever finished a shoulder assessment and thought "I know what this is, but what exactly do I prescribe now?" This is the session for you.
