The purpose of this workshop is to present these concepts and teach clinicians/attendees a new approach to the non-operative treatment of shoulder instability. Return to sport tests will also be discussed and practiced within the workshop. It is hoped that by sharing these ideas, patients with shoulder instability who are managed non-operatively will have improved clinical outcomes.
