What he works on

His approach rests on current scientific evidence and on clinical reasoning, with a central place given to what is said during the consultation.

Shoulder disorders

Clinical examination, the ranking of hypotheses and individualised management, from the initial triage to the treatment decision.

Therapeutic communication

Exploring the patient's beliefs without contradicting them, sharing information without imposing it, and making the interview a clinical tool in its own right.

Psychosocial factors

Spotting what, in fear of movement, self-efficacy or catastrophic thinking, weighs on the prognosis as much as the tissue does.

Neurological involvement of the upper limb

Recognising what, behind shoulder pain, comes from a nerve rather than from the cuff or the joint.
