Upper limb tasks and activities require complex coordinated movements of the cervical-thoracic- scapular, shoulder and upper limb. Prevalence of shoulder pain in the general population is high and in the sporting population. It is not surprising that shoulder pain and dysfunction is one of the most common presentations in musculoskeletal physiotherapy clinics.

In sports, such as swimming, tennis, golf, rugby, field athletics, boxing etc, shoulder pain presents both as traumatic or overuse injuries. Myofascial pain is one of the most common presentations in shoulder pain especially in relation to the weak and painful shoulder, with referral often mimicking or coexisting with rotator cuff or subacromial pain syndrome type presentations. Weakness and low fatigue resistance is one of the considered mechanisms for the precipitation of myofascial pain.

There are many muscles that refer pain and inhibit strength of the shoulder complex. Knowledge and assessment of these muscles is important in the management of shoulder pain, both in the sporting and general population.

This course will review the muscles of the shoulder complex that are commonly involved in shoulder pain. Will be in expert review of both manual palpation and dry needling technique for the management of myofascial shoulder pain.
