Description

Outline

Introduction

Why we need to understand the neck and shoulder girdle better
Review of current biomechanical theories and research on cervical spine
- Using Classification Systems and Functional Index findings to guide treatment planning
- Causes of neck pain and disability—biomechanical and neurological changes

Common Hyper- and Hypo-Mobility Diagnoses Therapists Treat in the Cervical and Scapular-Thoracic Region

Whiplash, Herniated Nucleus Pulposus (HNP), spondylosis, radiculopathy, scoliosis
Hypo-mobility diagnoses—stenosis, kyphosis, facet joint dysfunction, Degenerative Disk Disease (DDD)

How Do We Stabilize?

Review of relevant functional anatomy of the cervical-scapulo-thoracic region
Discuss biomechanical model of the Cervical Motion Segment and effects of instability
Effects of posture and aging on tissue structure and motor control

Lab 1: Palpation AND Posture Assessment

Bony structures and gross muscle testing
Posture observations and documentation of scoliosis and scapular winging
Special tests—Jull’s Test for Cranio-cervical stability, Standing Arm Elevation, Axial compression, vertebral artery, Spurling’s test, and Scapular Balancing Index

Common Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatments

Laminectomy, discectomy, cervical fusion, disc replacement
Pain management strategies—spinal injections, trigger point injections, Botox, and acupuncture
Clinical Modalities—iontophoresis, manual vs. mechanical traction

Lab 2: Hands-On Treatment Techniques

Mobility testing and TMJ screening
Soft Tissue Mobilization—passive release, muscle energy release, and tissue unwinding
Demonstration of advanced mobilization techniques—MET and Mobilization with movement

Neuromuscular Re-Education: Clinical Applications AND Treatments

Pressure biofeedback for deep neck flexors and scapular stability exercises
Specialized taping techniques using kinesio-taping and McConnell taping strategies

Stabilization for Neck AND Scapula

Critical links and 3 Postural Zones
Weak links in the Stability Chain
Progression of Exercise Programs

Lab 3: Stabilization AND Scapular Mobility Exercises

Deep neck flexor training and Cervical “clock” exercises
Connecting the postural zones
Mobilization exercises for Scapular-thoracic region
Building scapula-thoracic postural control
Advanced exercise techniques—gliding discs, yoga, PNF, and dynamic reaction training
