Evaluation and Treatment of Shoulder Injuries
A lot of our clients suffer from chronic rotator cuff injuries that seem to stubbornly persist using conventional massage techniques. Learn precise and specific orthopedic assessments and thumbs-free techniques to identify and successfully treat some of the most common injuries to the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, long head of the biceps, and acromioclavicular joint.
The class will include a review of rotator cuff anatomy, palpation of the rotator cuff muscles and related structures, and instruction in appropriate treatment massage techniques to treat the soft tissue lesions. You will also receive a detailed 30-page handbook for future reference.
"This shoulder class was the best class and instruction I've ever had." - Deborah Luger
"I appreciated that we were searching for clues while trying to not jump to conclusions. It was particularly helpful to have well defined major and minor accessory indicators for muscle testing." - Kindra S.
"What I liked best about this class was the socratic method at the end of class. Seeing all of the assessments and then determining what might be happening in students' actual shoulders was so valuable for learning and retention." - Emma Harrison
“Wow! I had heard how transforming and wonderful Mr. Utting’s educational approach was, but the experience I had exceeded all hopes.

And it was done with kindness, connection, patience, and gratitude modeled and given.” - Regina Tokaiulunivanua
