Listen Later

Have any of your shoulder patients improved and then plateaued, unable to regain their full range of movement, or get rid of their painful arc?

Sometimes it’s not the cuff, capsule, nerves or neck—it’s the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) holding things back.

In this episode, Jo Gibson sheds light on this often-overlooked contributor to persistent shoulder pain.

From real patient case studies to the latest research and simple clinic-ready symptom modification tests, Jo shares practical strategies you can use immediately.

Learn how to identify ACJ involvement, and use targeted rehab exercises, symptom modification and treatment strategies to help patients break through their plateau and regain their confidence and range.
