PATIENT EDUCATION
Do you have muscle, tendon, bone, or joint pain?
We are committed to improving the lives of patients with musculoskeletal concerns
We have developed a number of resources to help you with your shoulder injury or condition. Explore the links below for our non operative shoulder program and information on different shoulder conditions.
Non Operative Shoulder Exercise Program
In collaboration with the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation and the Canadian Elbow and Shoulder Society, Dr. David Sheps has assisted in the development of additional education material for patients about shoulder injuries and their treatment.
Our orthopaedic surgeons and physiotherapists have been integral in the development of universal protocols for post-operative shoulder rehabilitation for the Calgary zone. These protocols aim to improve and standardize shoulder care and provide health care practitioners the resources to help guide their patients through their rehabilitation.
