MTS™ LEVEL 2

MTS™ Level 2 is a complete course for managing most shoulder instabilities. 

We'll cover glenohumeral subluxations & dislocations, acromioclavicular injuries and instabilities, sternoclavicular instability and the all important (and globally confused) scapular dyskinesis (in all its variations).

Day 1 will bring you up to speed on management of GHJ subluxations & dislocations, initial dislocation management and how it differs for recurrent dislocations. Non-operative vs operative considerations, picking the right surgical procedure (and surgeon), exercise management and necessary progressions.

All grades of ACJ examination and rehabilitation will be covered (including Grade IIIB and V). Taping, bracing, corrective exercise methods and considerations for return to sport. We'll also look at examination of the SCJ, instability issues and surgical vs non-operative care.

Day 2 is dedicated to solutions for scapular dyskinesis. This includes updates on population normals vs abnormals including current experimental research, ideal placement, rhythm, wings, tilts and flips. We'll take a closer look at the past and present methods used around the world for examination and management, along with adaptive and maladaptive patterns of movement.

There are double practical sessions for Day 2,  taking you through initial management, selective muscle recruitment and positioning for open vs closed chain movements. We'll then look at integration of movements and return to resistance training and sport with new scapular patterns.

All sessions include lecture, case studies, group discussion and practical components.

*This course can be taken out of order with Level 3 - The Athletic Shoulder.
