2026 Upper Quarter Foundation Webinars

Get ready for the June 2026  and October 2026 intensive 2-day movement system syndromes courses with this webinar series. 

 

The 2026 Foundation Webinar Series will cover the key principles of the kinesiopathologic model, as they apply to upper extremity syndromes.  

The Series is designed to present the foundational concepts of the kinesiopathologic model in enough detail and relevance so they can be applied immediately to clinical practice.

Foundation Webinars

Learn the kinesiopathoogic principles in 5 bite-sized sessions for a bargain price of $200!

  • Kinesiopathology of Shoulder & Neck: Why MOVEMENT Matters! 
  • Case Presentation with Dr. Shirley Sahrmann
  • Shoulder Biomechanics: Stiffness and Flexibility 
  • Neuromuscular Activation Pattern in the Movement System
  • The Role of Motor Learning in Movement System Syndromes

Learn, implement, repeat!

Weekend courses are valuable but the amount of information at times could get lost by Sunday evening.  We want to help clinicians implement key concepts of the kinesiopathlogic model right away before it is forgotten.  Each webinar is 1.5 hour, with a specific focus on a handful of key concepts from the kinesiopathologic model.  By getting visually rich examples of the upper extremity cases, you will be off to a great start!
