In this special episode of The Soft Tissue OT Podcast, we’re bringing you something a little different — a live recording from our Soft Tissue Interest Group.

🎥 This session features my full clinical breakdown of an Acromio-Clavicular (AC) joint case — including how I approached the assessment, the reasoning behind my diagnosis, and the exact rehab strategies I used to get this patient back to full function.

💡 If you've ever wanted to get inside the mind of a clinician managing a tricky shoulder case, this is your chance. I walk you through:
 🔍 The subjective clues that narrowed the diagnosis
🧠 The clinical reasoning at each stage of assessment
🧪 The special tests and differential diagnoses considered
💪 The treatment pathway and exercise progression that led to success

This episode isn’t theory — it’s real clinical application, delivered in a step-by-step format you can apply to your own practice.

📢 Clinicians, students, and anyone passionate about shoulder rehab — don’t miss this!
