Unpacking “Frozen” Shoulder: Integrative Strategies For Shoulder Mobility Issues 2026


  • 2 SW Hawthorne Bridge Portland, OR United States (map)

Not every shoulder mobility problem is the same or needs the same treatment. This workshop aims to take a deeper look at the anatomy, the joint mechanics, and the most common mobility pathologies of the “Shoulder Complex” seen in a manual therapy practice. We will include frozen shoulder (adhesive capulitis) and rotator cuff injuries as well as postural and movement imbalances that accompany or contribute to shoulder pathologies. In this 10 hour workshop we will explore essential screens and assessments to better understand the issue at hand and when/where/how we can work and when we should refer out. We will explore current research and treatment planning regarding common shoulder pathologies. We will then explore integrative bodywork techniques for the muscles and fascia surrounding the shoulder and the rotator cuff. As always, we will explore techniques using sustainable body mechanics.
