Great course! Well laid out and a TON of information. Great refresher.
Amazing quick and easy, yet so beneficial. Relates heavily and answer questions to true treatment of my patient and population that I see.
I enjoyed this course. It was a great overview of frozen shoulder syndrome. I especially thought the differential diagnoses were helpful to think through. However, as a practicing therapist, I wish it had have gone deeper into therapy related treatments of frozen shoulder. I also think pictures would have been beneficial for visualizing concepts.
