Models of shoulder assessment including the Shoulder Symptom Modification Procedure (Lewis JS (2009) British Journal of Sports Medicine) and a new model for staging the continuum of rotator cuff tendinopathy (Lewis JS (2010) British Journal of Sports Medicine) will be presented. Emphasis will be placed on clinical reasoning to support management decisions. Participants completing these courses will gain a greater understanding of the anatomy\, biomechanics\, assessment and evidence-based treatment of this interesting and complicated region of the body. \nThis course remains a ‘work in progress’ and is continually being updated with the emergence of new research and clinical understanding. As a result\, many people have participated on two and some on three occasions. This course will be fun\, thought provoking\, and provide opportunity to discuss ideas and share experiences. \nLearning Outcomes \n\nTo develop a better understanding and knowledge of the clinical anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder girdle.\nTo develop a comprehensive subjective and physical evaluation strategy for the shoulder that considers local and referred sources of pain and directs the clinician to develop an appropriate management plan.\nTo develop greater confidence with the physical assessment of the shoulder region and a better understanding of the evidence for the use of the selected assessment techniques.\nTo gain proficiency in the Shoulder Symptom Modification Procedure.\nTo develop a greater understanding and knowledge of various pathologies of the shoulder girdle.\nTo develop greater competency in the management of patients with a variety of shoulder 
pathologies including; the acute shoulder\, subacromial pain syndrome\, rotator cuff\, shoulder pain syndromes\, and pain referred to the shoulder.\nTo review the research evidence relating to the influence of posture and muscle imbalance and its 
relationship with shoulder pathology.\nTo review the evidence underpinning the pathology\, and the assessment and management of 
various shoulder conditions\, especially rotator cuff and biceps tendinopathy.\nTo review the research evidence evaluating the use of diagnostic imaging as part of the 
management for musculoskeletal disorders of the shoulder.\nTo review the research evidence evaluating the use of injections as part of the management for 
musculoskeletal disorders of the shoulder.\n\nTo develop a greater confidence in the use of exercise therapy\, hands on therapy and taping techniques for the shoulder and evaluation of the efficacy of the techniques\, balanced against the evidence base for using these techniques.
