New CPD for 2026: Understanding Frozen Shoulder and Adhesive Capsulitis in Clinical Practice

  • 15 hours ago

Frozen shoulder is one of the most common shoulder conditions encountered by manual therapy practitioners, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood.


Clients often present with pain, progressive stiffness, disturbed sleep, and significant functional limitations. While adhesive capsulitis is frequently described as a predictable condition, real-world presentations are often far more complex.

That's why we've completely rewritten our Frozen Shoulder course for 2026.

is a brand-new 5-hour CPD course developed specifically for Remedial Massage Therapists, Myotherapists, Bowen Therapists, and other manual therapy practitioners.


This course explores the current evidence surrounding frozen shoulder, including:

  • Anatomy and pathophysiology

  • Clinical presentation and staging

  • Assessment and differential diagnosis

  • Range of motion evaluation

  • Manual therapy and exercise considerations

  • Treatment evidence and common myths

  • Communication and expectation management

  • Clinical reasoning and case studies


Rather than focusing on outdated assumptions or one-size-fits-all treatment approaches, this course examines the contemporary understanding of frozen shoulder and the challenges clinicians face in practice.


If you completed our previous Frozen Shoulder course, please note that this fully rewritten and updated 2026 edition should be considered an entirely new course.


Whether you're looking to refresh your knowledge, improve your clinical reasoning, or gain valuable CPD hours, this course provides a practical and evidence-informed exploration of one of the most common shoulder presentations seen in clinical practice.
