SHOULDER HEALTH

Don't let shoulder pain steal your quality of life. Whatever the issue, pull yourself up with Dr Matt Zanis and this course.

Neck and nerve impingements, shoulder blade function, tight traps, rotator cuff pain, tendonitis - there's lots that can go wrong with your shoulder. But there's only one way to turn the corner: transform the way your upper body functions.

So if you want to improve your shoulder strength, mobility and stability, Dr Matt Zanis will guide you through the anatomy of the shoulder, provide self-assessments and then demonstrate the exercises he recommends to restore shoulder function.

"3 months ago, I injured my shoulder in Jiu-Jitsu and have been working through a lot of pain. Even putting on a jacket was uncomfortable. After finishing this course, I was able to identify the cause of my pain and implement some of the prescriptions. My shoulder has felt better every day!”

- John Durrett, Head S&C Coach, Underdog MMA

"Dr. Zanis provides an in depth, digestible, and actionable crash course on identifying and fixing the often miss understood shoulder girdle. Dr. Z instructs as a passionate friend who is looking to share what he knows with you, there is not a tone of frustration with your lack of knowledge but rather he exudes an open invitation to join him in fixing yourself, your athletes, or your clients. The course is an excellent resource for anyone looking to grow their coaching tool box."

- Andy Holmes, CSCS, SCCC, and Power Athlete Coach
