Join Lenny Macrina as he provides a detailed look into shoulder overuse injuries. This course discusses the evaluation, treatment, and progression of patients with overuse injuries to the shoulder and surrounding soft tissue. A brief synopsis of the anatomy, biomechanics and typical presentation will be discussed in lecture and case format. In addition, rehabilitation strategies to avoid long-term issues will be presented as part of the case series.
