​This website presents an example of an evidence-based rehabilitation programme that has been designed to meet the following assumptions:
 

• The reader will be the patient (lay audience)

• The injury is a Type II SLAP tear 

• The patient is an overhead athlete (basketball player) 

• The exercises prescribed are for the early-to-intermediate stages of rehabilitation (conservative management)

• Six levels/progressions are provided, addressing the following domains:

  • Range of motion and flexibility

  • Isometric, concentric and eccentric strength (open and closed chain)

  • Gait/movement re-education

  • Proprioception

  • Core stability and strength 

• The patient will be regularly supervised and assessed by their Sports Therapist, per the instructions in the User Guide​ page 

• Exercises are evidence-based where possible, as recommended in contemporary peer-reviewed literature; this is summarized in the Review page
