What course members say about Shoulder: Steps to Success online course

Feedback and testimonials from physiotherapists, physical therapists, chiropractors and podiatrists around the world who completed the Shoulder: Steps to Success online course with Jo Gibson.

"As a new grad before taking the course, I was stuck on trying to diagnose a specific structural deficit, but then also giving everybody pretty much the same exercises. The simple clinical reasoning framework Jo teaches is so powerful at changing people's movement experience in session. I'm now less concerned about structural diagnosis, and have a way better capability to screen those specific pathologies that do need diagnosing. I also have a way better foundational understanding of how the rotator cuff works, which guides everything I do."

"The Shoulder: Steps to Success online course is terrific, one of the best courses I've ever attended. It's very practical, has helped with diagnosis in my role as a GP, and has completely changed my treatment of shoulder pain and how I train my trainee colleagues. The nerve module in the course helped me identify a patient injury that I would not have picked up previously."
John KellyGP · Australia
"As a clinical specialist physiotherapist working with shoulders I found Jo's online series extremely enlightening. As always Jo's delivery and demonstrations provided both clarity and food for thought which has led me to re-evaluate my clinical practice. I would heartily recommend it to all therapists no matter what experience."

Serena MurphyPhysiotherapist · Launceston, Australia
"The Shoulder: Steps to Success online course has given me a faster, more structured assessment, and I love the improvement tests. There are lots of evidence-based treatment and exercise ideas with clear progressions that have helped me be more targeted with my exercise selection and progression."
Annette DillonPhysiotherapist · Sydney, Australia
Zoey Readdy, Physiotherapist · Perth, Australia
"I used to feel like I had a 50:50 potential to change someone's symptoms with my treatment plan. I felt like I never had a clear, systematic process. Now I feel more confident having a systematic approach to my assessment and treatment, and don't feel like I'm guessing and hoping for the best. The objective assessment and symptom modification tests, as well as utilising the kinetic chain, have been so simple and easy to follow. I feel very confident now, and the course has completely changed the outcome of my patients."
Zoey ReaddyPhysiotherapist · Perth, Australia

"The Shoulder: Steps to Success online course is a great course and it certainly improved my confidence in treating shoulder patients. I like how Jo has simplified things and put it all together. I have had great results with shoulder patients using the treatment suggestions."
Parnashree JadhavMusculoskeletal Physiotherapist · Falcon, Australia
Denzil Jewell, Physiotherapist · New Zealand
"Before the course, figuring out the best and most efficient assessment and subsequent intervention plan from my assessment was a real challenge. In the course Jo provided plenty of evidence to support the often complex presentation of shoulder pathologies, in an easy to understand and practically applicable manner that I was able to instantly use in my clinical practice. I have noticed a tremendous improvement in my ability to diagnose and design tailored interventions for all patients who present to me with shoulder pain. This is easily the best shoulder course I've done, both practically and online."
Denzil JewellPhysiotherapist · New Zealand
"I've treated a lot of shoulders successfully with the help of the course."
Darren HigginsPhysiotherapist · London, UK
"What a well structured, delivered and clinically relevant course. In an industry saturated with courses it is difficult to find a course of real true value which balances EBP and clinical needs. This course just did that. Jo Gibson's delivery is very clear and the structure of the course follows the logic applied in the clinic. I will recommend it to all my students and colleagues."
Anna M.Sports Therapist · UK
"Thank you for creating such an amazing course. I am excelling in my last placement because of this course and I just want you and Jo to know you are doing amazing things for future physiotherapists."
Tina H.Physiotherapy student · Canada
Helen Greensmith, Physiotherapist · UK
"Before the Shoulder: Steps to Success online course my assessments were a mess of special tests which I now know are largely meaningless. I lacked ideas for rehab exercises beyond isometric rotator cuff strength and maybe theraband resisted abduction. The course has completely altered my approach and I no longer spend ages with multiple tests. The improvement tests in the course were a revolution for me. I'm now hugely more confident with both assessment and treatment of shoulder pain, and usually get very good results."
Helen GreensmithPhysiotherapist · UK
"Thank you, I am really enjoying the course. I found a spare hour this morning and was able to join Jo. It is of course an excellent way to learn."
Sarah B.Physiotherapist · UK
"The Shoulder: Steps to Success online course has a lot of great content that is broken down into manageable chunks that you can watch at your own pace, and review at any time. I feel more confident now with assessment, diagnosis and treatment of shoulder patients."
Diana LeakeOsteopath · Berkshire, UK
"The Shoulder: Steps to Success online course has really helped streamline my assessment and treatment of shoulder pain. The course has really practical, straightforward information that's easy to follow and has improved my clinical practice."
Ginny ErichsenPhysiotherapist · Eimeo, Australia
Jennifer Richardson, Osteopath · Australia
"Before doing the Shoulder: Steps to Success online course, there were so many aspects to shoulder pain that it seemed overwhelming, and I used to use more of a blanket treatment for most shoulder pain patients. The course with Jo is broken down into easily digestible bits which makes it easy to remember and implement. I now feel much more confident in accurately diagnosing shoulder pain, communicating this to the patient and knowing how to treat and prescribe rehab exercises. My treatment is now more targeted depending on the shoulder injury rather than a blanket shoulder treatment."
Jennifer RichardsonOsteopath · Australia
"Shoulder pain patients were previously a cohort that I always found the most challenging, and I found the shoulder the most difficult joint in the body. It has been refreshing, even for an old physio, to use Jo's course and approach with shoulder pain patients. I especially like the emphasis on the kinetic chain and psychosocial aspects. I'm able to apply the course content immediately with my patients, and am getting great results."
Tony FlanaganPhysiotherapist · Fairfield, Victoria, Australia
"The Shoulder: Steps to Success online course has updated my knowledge about shoulder rehab with the latest evidence. The course is very well organised with the videos, audio downloads, PDFs and frequent Q&As. It has helped me understand different shoulder pathologies and provide exercise programs for each patient."
Rajiv VeerenPhysiotherapist · Plaines Wilhems, Mauritius
"I loved how each module was thought out in detail. With each video, I'm immersed in, and benefit from, the wealth of experience and information Jo has developed since specialising in shoulders."
Zachary PoonPhysiotherapist · Singapore
Charlie Rassek, Physiotherapy student · Switzerland
"The shoulder felt like a complicated joint before doing the Shoulder: Steps to Success online course. I was not able to put an accurate diagnosis on the pathology I was facing, therefore not proposing adequate rehab. The videos of the exercises, quality of the information provided, backed up by recent research, has really helped me and is easily applicable in clinic. My ability to take care of shoulder patients changed completely, I feel way more confident. I did the course again a few months afterwards and found even more helpful info that I wasn't able to understand the first time."
Charlie RassekPhysiotherapy student · Switzerland
Mario Wadie, Physiotherapist · Canada
"Knowing what to strengthen and why used to be a real challenge for me. The step by step nature of the approach to shoulder care and the simple exercises have made me 10x more confident. 100% recommended."
Mario WadiePhysiotherapist · Canada
Jacqueline van Eis, Physiotherapist · Tauranga, New Zealand
"The Shoulder: Steps to Success online course has massively changed my way of assessing and treating shoulders. Instead of having to focus on the problem or diagnosis, I look for solutions. It encourages patients when they can see they have the potential to move their arm with less pain, instead of just confirming their shoulder is sore with provocative tests. Everything in the course is easy to follow, understand and apply with patients in clinic instantly. The course has not only given me more confidence, but gives my patients more confidence in their rehab."
Jacqueline van EisPhysiotherapist · Tauranga, New Zealand
Lorraine Aspland, Physiotherapist · Worcestershire, UK
"My knowledge and differential diagnosis has really improved, and I've picked up a lot of treatment ideas. I like that I can do it in my own time, and go back and review the course at any time. It honestly was one of the most useful courses I have done in 20 years of clinical practice."
Lorraine AsplandPhysiotherapist · Worcestershire, UK
Sally McLaine, Physiotherapist · Launceston, Australia
"Thanks so much for such a fantastic course, I love everything about it. I have found the practical assessment, treatment and ideas for exercise really great and so helpful.

Jo's knowledge base and ability to explain is exceptional. There is so much wonderful information, it keeps me enthusiastic about shoulders."

Anita Kerins, Musculoskeletal Specialist Physiotherapist · Galway, Ireland
"I actually really hated the shoulder and now, after doing the Shoulder: Steps to Success online course, I want to become a shoulder specialist and share this wonderful knowledge with others. I use the course material every single day in my practice, either with my patients or when conducting teaching sessions with physiotherapy colleagues, MDT colleagues and students.

"I rave about the Shoulder: Steps to Success online course and Clinical Edge website to fellow physios. The ease of being able to go over exercises and the info at 5-10 minute intervals at work or home is simply brilliant. The course has helped immensely in getting my shoulder patients better. One of my patients saw two different physios before me without any change, now he is improving."

Ann Chipa, Physiotherapist · Queensland, Australia
"I love Jo's enthusiasm for the shoulder, simplicity of the approach, up to date information and the ongoing support we receive. The course has really simplified the shoulder, condensed my assessment and reduced the amount of tests I need to perform in an objective. The numerous exercise videos have given me a lot of different exercises to choose from, and a much clearer direction with treatment to know exactly how to select exercises for the best results with each of my patients."
