Description
More than 1/3 of adult Americans are injured in their neck and shoulder regions. They can be severe and expensive. X-These patients may still have pain despite the fact that ray findings do not always correlate with symptoms. Defects in the scapula may also cause pain.-The alignment and biomechanics in the cervical spine have been affected by the lumbar and thoracic regions.
No matter whether the cause is trauma, wear, or chronic effects of age, position, and wear,-And-Many of these patients have severe pain and disability. Muscle imbalances, altered length-It is becoming increasingly difficult to treat these patients effectively due to the tension relationships between soft tissues. Passive treatment is not an effective option.
This recording will explore the latest techniques for Assessing and treating shoulder and neck pains and dysfunction. Current treatment-Base classification systems for neck patients will be presented, as well as today’s best-Pragmatism for It is important to objectively determine the root cause of dysfunction, and then implement effective treatment strategies.

Outline
Introduction
- Understanding the neck and shouldergirdle is important
- Review of current biomechanical theories, and research on the cervical spine
- To guide treatment planning, use Functional Index and Classification Systems findings
- Causes of neck pain and disability—biomechanical and neurological changes
Common Hypo- and Hyper–Mobility Diagnostics Therapy Treats in the Cervical. Scapular-Thoracic Region
- Whiplash
- Hypo-mobility diagnoses—stenosis, kyphosis, facet joint dysfunction, Degenerative Disk Disease (DDD)
How can we stabilize?
- Review of relevant anatomy of the cervical.-Capulo-Thoracic region
- Discuss the biomechanical model of Cervical Motion Segment, and its effects on instability
- Motor control and tissue structure: effects of ageing and posture
Lab 1: Assessment of Posture AND Palpation
- Bony structures and muscle testing
- Documentation of scoliosis, scapular winging and posture observations
- Special tests—Jull’s Test for Cranio-cervical stability, Standing Arm Elevation, Axial compression, vertebral artery, Spurling’s test, and Scapular Balancing Index
Common Non-surgical and Surgical-Surgical Treatments
- Laminectomy, discectomy and cervical fusion. Displacement
- 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 screening 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 stabilization exercises
- Taping techniques using kinesio are specialized-McConnell and taping strategies
Stabilization for Neck AND Scapula
- Critical links and 3 Postural Zones
- Weak links in Stability Chain
- Progress of Exercise Programs
Lab 3: Stabilization AND Scapular Mobility exercises
- Cervical and deep neck flexor training “clock” exercises
- Connecting the postsural zones
- Mobilization exercises for Scapular-Thoracic region
- Building a capula-Control of the thoracic and postural muscles
- Advanced exercise techniques—gliding discs, yoga, PNF, and dynamic reaction training
