In this upper body-focused workshop, we will address pain management, starting with understanding the types of pain—acute, chronic, and referred pain—and exploring practical strategies to help manage and alleviate discomfort. Participants will be introduced to the anatomy of the upper body, emphasising the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints, which are critical for understanding injury mechanisms.

We will cover common injuries such as frozen shoulder, shoulder impingement, golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The workshop will explore the causes, symptoms, and methods to support recovery, such as mobility work, strengthening exercises, and pain relief techniques for each injury.

The workshop is designed to give participants a well-rounded understanding of addressing upper body pain and injuries, offering theoretical knowledge and practical solutions for managing recovery.
