Better Shoulders Workshop in Edmonton: November 7 with Paul Cramer
Updated: 8 hours ago
When your shoulder keeps interrupting your day, it can be hard to know what to do next. Rest more? Stretch more? Start strengthening? And how do you choose a starting point when reaching for a coat feels different from lifting a weight?
Our Better Shoulders workshop in Edmonton on Saturday, November 7, 2026, 9 a.m. to noon (Edmonton time) gives you time to explore those questions with Paul Cramer, Registered Massage Therapist. This practical, three-hour session focuses on understanding shoulder symptoms, finding manageable movement and building a plan you can use after the workshop.

Who is this shoulder workshop for?
The workshop is designed for adults whose shoulders feel sore, stiff, sensitive, weak or limited in movement. Your concern might show up at the gym, while getting dressed, during a workday or when trying to find a comfortable sleeping position.
You do not need a sports goal to have a meaningful shoulder goal. Putting dishes away, carrying shopping bags and reaching into a sleeve all count. Bringing one specific activity you want to understand better can make the session more relevant to your life.
The session offers group education and movement exploration. A new injury, unexplained weakness or a shoulder that is rapidly getting worse needs individual assessment; a workshop cannot establish a diagnosis or replace your own rehabilitation plan.
What will you explore with Paul Cramer?
Paul will guide participants through movement and strengthening options, with attention to how a shoulder responds. The aim is to help you make more informed choices about activity rather than leave with a long list of exercises and no way to decide where to begin.
Useful questions to bring include: Which movements feel manageable? What changes when an activity becomes heavier, longer or more repetitive? What would make a home plan realistic during a busy week? You can connect those questions to your own priorities without sharing personal health information with the group.
You will leave with ideas for creating your own two-week Better Shoulders plan. Two weeks is a planning window, not a promise that a painful shoulder will recover within that time. Progress and the need for further care vary.
How to prepare for the session
Wear clothing you can move comfortably in and bring a way to make notes. Before arriving, write down one or two activities your shoulder is affecting and what you would like to change. If you already have exercise restrictions or instructions following surgery or an injury, follow them and check with your treating clinician about participation.
For example, “I want to put on my winter jacket more comfortably” gives you a clearer starting question than “I need a better shoulder.” Another useful goal might be understanding how to return to pressing exercises without repeatedly guessing at the next step.
When assessment should come first
Seek urgent medical care for a significant injury with deformity or sudden loss of arm function. New or worsening weakness, numbness or rapidly worsening symptoms also need assessment. Call 911 for possible heart-attack symptoms, including chest pressure or breathlessness with shoulder or arm discomfort. See Alberta's shoulder injury guidance and Heart & Stroke's emergency signs.
Explore the question that brought you here
For exercises, start with our rotator cuff starting-plan guide or our explanation of shoulder mobility and strength. For a particular activity, read about shoulder pain during bench press or pain when reaching behind your back. Each guide can help you prepare a more specific question.
