The Shoulder Rehab Blueprint for Pain-Free Overhead Positions

Course Name:  The Shoulder Rehab Blueprint for Pain-Free Overhead Positions with Luke Troiani

Date: Wednesday 22nd October starting at 7:30pm AEDT

Description: This two-part program explores the often-overlooked mechanics behind shoulder dysfunction in overhead pressing. Rather than viewing impingement and bursitis as isolated conditions, we’ll examine how faulty ribcage positioning, limited shoulder flexion, poor scapular mechanics, and compensatory movement patterns across the kinetic chain contribute to pain and restriction.

The initial webinar will provide the theoretical foundation, unpacking the evidence and clinical reasoning that link rib positioning, scapular rhythm, and neuromuscular control to overhead function. This session will give attendees a clear framework for understanding why traditional treatments often fall short and how a more integrated approach creates lasting change.

At this year’s MAA Conference in Parramatta (October 25-26), the in-person seminar will expand on this knowledge through hands-on practical application. Attendees will practice assessment strategies, manual therapy techniques, and corrective exercises, including breathing drills and functional strength progressions, ensuring they leave with both the insight and the skills to restore pain-free overhead positions in their patients and clients.
