Solving the Mystery of Adhesive Capsulitis
in Women
&
Preventing Osteoporosis
An Enlightening Seminar for Orthopedic &
Women's Health Physical Therapists.
|
| Idiopathic Adhesive Capsulitis or "Frozen
Shoulder" in women has been referred as an "ENIGMA" in the
medical literature. The condition has not been well understood and
the methods of treatment varied and without predictable outcomes.
Traditionally therapists have been challenged and frustrated by slow
progress, limited pain relief and poor functional outcomes.
Since the 1700's women have been presenting with stiff, painful
shoulders of unknown etiology. More often than not they have been
prescribed anti-depressants, sent home with the assurance that the
condition would eventually resolve, but told that it may take a number of
years!
IT'S TIME TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY
OF FROZEN SHOULDERS!
 Dora Partridge PT, specializes in difficult shoulder cases
and has carried out clinical study and research over the past decade
comparing the common variables of all patients presenting with stiff
shoulders. Particular emphasis on idiopathic adhesive capsulitis in
women has revealed consistent common factors that contribute to its
development. Most significant of these is HORMONE
IMBALANCE.
This seminar presents those findings and offers an answer
to what causes idiopathic adhesive capsulitis in
women and what leads to the
development of shoulder stiffness in all frozen shoulders.
Therapists will be introduced to the role of hormones and
their specific effects on muscle, bone, ligaments, and connective
tissue. They will learn how hormone imbalance interferes with
achieving positive outcomes in therapy not only for shoulders, but many
orthopedic and musculoskeletal diagnoses.
This seminar will teach therapists how to interpret lab
results and bone density tests, and present optimal hormone levels
necessary for healing and musculoskeletal health. Vitamin, mineral,
and nutritional supplements that can improve your outcomes will also be
presented.
Therapists will learn a systematic treatment approach
including taping, manual therapy, and specific exercise that is effective
for all stiff shoulders. Specific manual techniques will
be presented that will enable therapists to achieve rapid...(1-3
Visits)...
and often dramatic increases in pain free active and passive range of
motion. The treatment techniques are highly effective for
multi-directional instabilities, primary and secondary impingement,
hemi and total arthroplasties, post-traumatic injuries, and patients with
diabetes and osteoporosis.
Most importantly, therapists will learn how to be
instrumental in educating patients, physicians and other medical
practitioners in the prevention of osteoporosis
and other hormone related problems.

TARGET AUDIENCE
|
| This seminar is specifically designed for
physical therapists that work with shoulder patients and have an interest
in women's health issues. Any therapist who treats multiple shoulder
diagnoses, and stiff shoulders of all etiologies will benefit from the
insight presented in this course. PTs, PTAs, OTs, and Physicians are
welcome.
This is an intermediate to advanced seminar with an emphasis on manual
therapy. Participants should have a basic understanding of shoulder
anatomy, biomechanics, and traditional rehab approaches. Therapists
should dress to participate in lab on both days allowing access to the
shoulder girdle and spine. Please bring a pair of scissors for
taping lab. |
OBJECTIVES
|
|
Upon the Completion of This Seminar
Participants Will Be Able To:
- Identify the underlying biomechanical condition contributing to the
development of adhesive capsulitis.
- Understand the purpose of adhesion development.
- Gain an understanding of the underlying systemic factors contributing
to the development of "Frozen Shoulder" in women.
- Learn how specific hormones effect the musculoskeletal system.
- Integrate the relationship between spinal posture and shoulder
biomechanics into your treatment plan and recognize the link to osteoporosis.
- Carry out a systematic treatment plan based on the biomechanical
problem utilizing taping, manual therapy and effective therapeutic
exercise.
- Learn how therapists can play a pivotal role in preventing
osteoporosis and in the overall preventive healthcare of women.
