This course will teach you how to assess and treat neck pain. You will learn how to identify faulty neck alignment, movement patterns, and muscle imbalances by analyzing patient movement. You will learn how to use components of the movement system to classify patients with cervical spine movement faults and pain. Based on movement classifications, you will utilize corrective exercises to restore optimal patient movement.

Chapters & learning objectives
1. Introduction and Patient Case: Poonam
This chapter describes the background and history of Shirley Sahrmann and colleagues, the developers of the movement system impairment (MSI) model. You will then learn how to integrate the MSI model into the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) model to create a comprehensive model for physical therapist practice. You will analyze a patient’s posture and movement while learning how to utilize symptom modification procedures (SMPs) to correct for excessive cervical spine extension. You will determine how mobility and muscle performance deficits influence the patient’s posture and movement. You will then use the movement system to create a comprehensive intervention plan to reduce excessive cervical spine extension.
2. Patient Case: Tamron
This chapter will use a patient case to introduce a syndrome of excessive cervical extension and rotation. You will analyze the patient’s posture and movement while learning how to utilize SMPs to correct for excessive glenohumeral multidirectional hypermobility. You will determine how mobility and muscle performance influence the patient’s posture and movement. You will then use the movement system to create a comprehensive intervention plan to reduce excessive cervical extension and rotation.
3. Patient Case: Erika
This chapter will use a patient case to introduce a syndrome of excessive cervical spine flexion. You will analyze the patient’s posture and movement while learning how to utilize SMPs to correct for excessive glenohumeral multidirectional hypermobility. You will determine how mobility and muscle performance influence the patient’s posture and movement. You will then use the movement system to create a comprehensive intervention plan to treat a patient with excessive cervical spine flexion.
4. Patient Case: Thomas
This chapter will use a patient case to introduce a syndrome of excessive cervical flexion and rotation. You will analyze the patient’s posture and movement while learning how to utilize SMPs to correct for excessive glenohumeral multidirectional hypermobility. You will determine how mobility and muscle performance influence the patient’s posture and movement. You will then use the movement system to create a comprehensive intervention plan to treat a patient with excessive cervical flexion and rotation.
