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?

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.
