If you work with clients with the limited range of shoulder motion, chronic shoulder tension or impingement with overhead lifting, this series of Two Anatomy Geeks™ was created for you.
ThisĀ 3 part series provides a detailed anatomical review of the muscles and bony landmarks associated with the rotator cuff and supporting musculature of the shoulder.
This series was pre-recorded.Ā
PURCHASERotator Cuff Anatomy
Using creative visuals, the functional anatomy, biomechanics and motor control of the muscles of the rotator cuff are explained. This unique approach also provides real-world strategies for addressing the most common causes of chronic tightness, discomfort, and compensated posture and movement patterns associated with the suboptimal function of the shoulder complex.
Upon completion of this 3-part interactive, webinar series, you will be able to:
-
Confidently identify the origin, insertion, and action of the primary muscles of the rotator cuff and how these muscles impact posture and movement.
-
Discover how the Integrative Movement SystemTM can be utilized to create both short and long-term improvements in shoulder posture and range of motion using simple, yet effective corrective exercises
-
Apply safe stretching and strengthening strategies to help your clients successfully accomplish their health and fitness goals.
Whether you are working virtually or in person, this series will deliver both practical information as well as corrective exercise strategies, so you feel confident in:
- addressing whether or not you should stretch or strengthen the rotator cuff so you’re using a guided thought process rather than guessing;
- developing the rotator cuff so they function synergistically with the other muscles of the shoulder to create optimal range of motion and stability;
- designing a safe mobilization and strengthening approach for the rotator cuff and improve your client’s shoulder function.
