Sport Therapy for The Shoulder: Evaluation, Rehabilitation, and Return to Sport

In Sport Therapy for the Shoulder: Evaluation, Rehabilitation, and Return to Sport, readers will
learn about best practices and evidence-based guidelines for assessing and treating patients’
shoulder injuries for re-entry into sport. Written by renowned physical therapists Todd S.
Ellenbecker and Kevin E. Wilk, this text is a key resource for physical therapists, athletic trainers,
sport chiropractors, massage therapists, strength and conditioning professionals, personal trainers,
and other clinicians in sports medicine who work with patients recovering from shoulder injuries.
Sport Therapy for the Shoulder guides readers systematically through functional anatomy and
biomechanics of the shoulder, examination techniques and pathology, rehabilitation, and returnto-play progressions. The text provides evidence-based principles to assist clinicians in improving
joint stabilization, strength, muscular endurance, and range of motion in the shoulder. Return-tosport programs feature step-by-step progressions for sports including baseball, softball, golf,
swimming, and tennis. Illustrated versions of the Thrower’s Ten and Advanced Thrower’s Ten
exercise programs, which were developed by coauthor Kevin E. Wilk and colleagues, are
provided in the appendix.
