What he works on

His aim, in his own words: to make scientific knowledge accessible and directly applicable to everyday practice, by encouraging clinical reasoning, critical thinking and patient self-management.

The operated and the non-operated shoulder

Conservative and postoperative management: what rehabilitation can take on, what has to go back to the surgeon, and at which point in the pathway.

Assessment and diagnostic reasoning

What the history and the clinical examination can genuinely settle, and what they cannot.

Evidence-based rehabilitation

Reading the shoulder literature, gauging how far it reaches, and bringing it back to what it changes in the clinic the very next day.

Therapeutic patient education and self-management

Sharing what is known about pain and tendons without imposing it, and making the patient an agent of their own rehabilitation.
