Overview:

Janet Delorme has learned scapulothoracic mechanics the hard way. From the inside.

A 32-year career as an orthopaedic/manual Physiotherapist did not prepare her for the life-changing injury that would rob her of her career, her active lifestyle and much of her independence.

Over a period of ten years, Janet turned her focus toward learning more about this region. What she felt on the inside did not “fit” with what was being taught by professionals observing this problem from the outside. The result of many years of reading, study and personal experimentation has been the publication of two books: Scapulothoracic Assessment in Three Simple Steps. (FriesenPress 2021) and The Mysterious Winging Scapula (FriesenPress 2022).

Janet does not claim to be a researcher or a scientist. She was a practitioner who was passionate about what she did.  Now she is passionate about what she has learned. By sharing her knowledge, she hopes to help many others…the ones without a voice. Unlocking the secrets of this region will change scapulothoracic assessment. Period.

Taking time out of a busy life to read two books is a big ask for most medical professionals, so Janet has provided most of the information from Book one in a five-part webinar series, with the added benefit of new data…Always the case with scientific evidence…it is always changing!
 
The information presented in the books and in this course is Janet’s best effort to organize a great deal of information and present it coherently and succinctly.

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the etiopathology of the winging scapula
  • Understand current morphological data for trapezius and serratus anterior
  • Understand how these two muscles work together as a force couple.
  • Review familiar roles of the serratus anterior and discuss how an understanding of the detailed architectural parameters of each of its three subdivisions may offer fresh insight into its truly complex and essential role.
  • Apply new morphological knowledge to your observational assessment…it works!
