Description

I credit the success of my practice to taking the time to understand the intricacies of doing manual therapy on the neck. This area is such a common hotspot for many people and they often seek help from bodyworkers just like you to relieve their pain. So how can we help our clients using the least amount of guesswork?

The real secret about neck work is to understand the cervical spine and its mechanics in movement, or Spinal Mechanics. The vertebrae of the cervical spine move in predictable ways that we can take advantage of to help our clients find more functional movement and less pain. In this course, I will help you not only learn these patterns but how to apply this knowledge utilizing manual therapy techniques to help our clients on the table.

At the end of this course, you will be exposed to the skills necessary to:

  • Palpate and discern the difference in tissue tension

  • Be able to assess and palpate vertebral rotation

  • Use range of motion techniques to be able to de-rotate rotated vertebra

  • Be able to work the anterior part of the neck

  • Be able to work the neck using deep tissue techniques in a safe and effective manner

This course also includes a detailed PDF handout providing a transcript for you to follow while watching the course.

Take this course to gain the knowledge and skills to confidently and effectively address neck pain in your practice.

NOTE: All techniques shown in this course will be gentle soft tissue manual therapy techniques. We will affect the vertebra via soft tissue manipulation.

SPECIAL NOTE: This course does not offer any CEUs or a certificate of completion
