Objectives:
•        Define the basic segment and structural stability of the spine based on physical therapy profession
specific published articles.

•        Recognize the need for developing basic skill requirements for mobility assessment of spinal segment
in management of cervical shoulder complex & the Lumbar spine pain patients

•        Identify clinically significant specific muscular stabilizers of the spine that impact the recovery process.

•        Demonstrate clinical understanding of the mechanics, structure and pertinent activities that maybe
contributing to the mechanical impairment resulting in Cervicogenic headahces, neck pain & lower back
pain.

Why should you take this course?

In the rehabilitation of the Neck, CGH & LBP
patient we can not keep repeating treatment that
DO NOT work! Finally a method to ascertain what
works and what does not-based on research and
clinical data!
  • Do you want to be able to monitor
    and document strength and progress
    in your Neck & LBP patients?

  • Do you want a consistent method of
    progressing your spinal exercises?

  • Do you want your patients to be
    accountable & responsible for their
    progress?

This course is the first step towards     
achieving your goals.
