FROM THE CORE TO THE CUFF PELVIS DYSFUNCTION LINK TO SHOULDER SYMPTOMS (An Osteopathic Approach)

Course Overview

Course Description:

From the Core to the Cuff: Pelvis Dysfunction Link to Shoulder Symptoms is a dynamic, evidence-informed course led by internationally renowned osteopath John Gibbons. Rooted in the regional interdependence model, this session explores the critical yet often overlooked connection between pelvic dysfunction and shoulder symptoms. Rather than treating the shoulder in isolation, participants will examine how imbalances or restrictions in the pelvic region can impact scapular mechanics, neuromuscular control, and overall upper quadrant function.

Combining osteopathic principles with current scientific research, this course provides clinicians with practical assessment tools and manual therapy techniques to identify and address non-local contributors to shoulder pain and dysfunction. Through hands-on demonstrations and clinical reasoning strategies, participants will learn to integrate pelvic correction, core stability, and lumbopelvic control into a comprehensive treatment approach aimed at optimizing shoulder mobility and performance.

Designed for physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and other manual therapy professionals, this course equips attendees with a whole-body perspective that enhances diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes. Whether working with athletes or everyday patients, clinicians will leave with the skills to effectively apply an integrated, biomechanical approach that accelerates recovery and reduces recurrence of shoulder-related issues.
