Hi I'm Jo Gibson
I'm a Liverpool-based Shoulder Specialist Physiotherapist with more than 30 years of experience specialising in shoulder rehab, previously in the Liverpool Upper Limb Unit and now in private practice.
I teach all over the world and am passionate about helping clinicians use a simple, effective approach to shoulder pain, so you can achieve better treatment outcomes with shoulder pain patients.
I work as a Consultant on shoulder rehabilitation for several elite sports teams throughout the UK.
I'm an Associate Lecturer at Liverpool University, and have published in Peer-reviewed journals, written several book chapters and co-authored National guidelines for the treatment of common shoulder pathologies.
As a Co-Editor of the Educational Section of the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow, my research interests include communication, complex shoulder instability and accelerated rehabilitation.

COURSE CONTENT
Four deep-dive presentations
Each built around real case studies and Jo Gibson's 30 years of specialist practice.
Part 1 - What's new, and what does it mean for our treatment?
Cutting-edge evidence on shoulder pain management — what's changed, what it means clinically, and how to apply it with real case studies.
Part 2 - Thoracic outlet syndrome: Is it or isn't it?
A confident diagnostic framework for neurogenic TOS — including differential diagnosis and where to start with treatment.
Part 3 - Shoulder instability: Is it any different?
Traumatic vs atraumatic instability, persistent apprehension, and the patient who keeps subluxing despite good rehab.
Part 4 - When things don't go according to plan — what next?
Why patients plateau, why treatment fails, and a problem-solving framework for getting them back on track.
