Workshop snapshot

Do you want to be confident at assessing joints? Do you want to know how you differentiate between problems at the joint versus muscle? We¹ll cover all the major joints on the body.

The big picture

Learn to assess joints of:
Shoulder
Hip & Thigh
Knee
Ankle
Elbow, Wrist & Hand
Spine

With the exception of the spine we will use active and passive movements to test range of movement (ROM) of joints. We will also include some muscle length testing such as The Thomas Test, Ober Test and Straight Leg Raise as well as some tests specific to certain joints such as the 'painful arc' and Empty Can test at the shoulder. Knee tests include the Clark's test and tests to differentiate between collateral ligaments, cruciate ligaments and menisci.
