November 17–18, 2018 | Garden City, NY
The shoulder is one of the most complex — and most frequently injured — joints in the body. Treating it well requires more than protocols; it requires a deep clinical reasoning framework grounded in the latest evidence. In November 2018, Professional Seminars brought Kevin E. Wilk, PT, DPT, FAPTA back for a two-day deep dive into shoulder rehabilitation in Garden City, NY, and the room delivered the kind of engaged, questioning energy that Wilk courses are known for generating.
What the Course Covered
State-of-the-Art Evidence for Shoulder Pathologies and Surgeries
Kevin walked attendees through the most current evidence across a full spectrum of shoulder conditions — from rotator cuff pathology and labral tears to post-surgical rehab for arthroplasty and instability procedures. Each topic was grounded in the clinical research Kevin has spent decades producing and applying.
Video-Based Surgical and Rehab Demonstrations
One of the distinctive features of Kevin's courses is the use of surgical and rehabilitation videos to connect clinical reasoning to what's actually happening in the operating room and the clinic. Understanding what was repaired — and how — is essential to designing a rehabilitation program that respects the tissue and protects the outcome.
Case Study Problem-Solving and Lab Work
Attendees brought their toughest shoulder cases to the table — and worked through them alongside Kevin and each other using evidence-based clinical reasoning. Lab sessions reinforced technique and gave participants hands-on time with evaluation and treatment approaches before the course ended.
