Summary
'The speaker was brilliant. Enthusiastic and extremely knowledgable.'
This lecture will help you enhance your skills in prescribing exercise for the management of chronic neck pain. This will be achieved by revisting relevant functional anatomy, applied biomechanical principles and the latest research evidence to guide you in the most effective way to target your assessment and treatment in chronic neck pain. If you want to be 'better at necks', this is ideal.
You will hear the most up to date published and yet to be published research evidence. This comes via Shaun's role as a specialist clinician and researcher at University of Queensland (UQ). His expertise comes from his own and other collaborative research with Gwen Jull, Michelle Sterling and other globally recognised experts in the area of neck pain.
With all these combined, your ability to provide simple yet both specific and highly effective exercises bringing measureable patient improvement will be enhanced.
You will take away elements that will guide you restructuring your approach to managing problematic cervical disorders which incorporates some of the best clinical experience and expertise available.
The lecture has videos clips for demonstrating relevant practical elements

Objectives
Having attended you will be able to:
Demonstrate an enhanced knowledge of cervical motion and muscle function
Describe a clear thought process in reasoning your observations, assessment findings and exercise prescription.
Provide a practical interpretation of the current research evidence of motor function and exercise trials, and it's implications in the management of your patient's with neck pain.
Describe a systematic approach to identify which of your patients will benefit from a therapeutic exercise program.
Understand the relationship between your patient's functional deficits, their painful movement disorder, and findings from tests of posture, movement, flexibility, and muscle performance, to facilitate your decision making.
Determine decisive and efficient plans of action for therapeutic exercise with adequate progression.
Determine how to utilise exercise with other therapeutics such as manual therapy.
Content
The lecture teaches you:
Insights as to where you might start from a movement and exercise perspective when assessing and then treating someone with chronic neck pain
Clinical tips on how to identify motor impairments in patients with neck pain and reason the implications for cervical function
An outline of how you might practically assess motion in the cervical spine with a focus on specific anterior and posterior cervical and axioscapular muscle function; their performance during assessment and how your findings relate to the patient's movement disorder
How you identify those muscle groups that need training and outlines aspects of a tailored exercise progression which meet the needs of the patient
How to you would reason through a patient so you limit your exercise prescription to a few simple exercises that best meet the patients' individual needs and maximise their improvement
Consider how you might integrate a successful therapeutic exercise program into the overall management of a range of common clinical presentations.
The overall aim is for you to improve your assessment and treatment of those challenging patients who present with chronic symptoms The latest research is integrated throughout and Shaun will share his clinical tips and hints for you to gain as much as possible which you can then put straight into your clinical practice.
Audience
This lecture is appropriate for all health professionals who manage mechanical neck pain e.g. physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, sports therapists and sports rehabilitators. It is suitable for all levels of experience and clinical expertise.

Participant feedback
'The speaker was brilliant. Enthusiastic and extremely knowledgable'
'People working specifically with neck problems sufferers would find it especiallly helpful, e.g. clinicians, physiotherapists, and also scientists, college, university lecturers of the same or similar field'
'Excellent refresher on anatomy and good suggestions for assessment and exercise progression'
'Provides a good base and clinical reasoning framework to address chronic neck conditions'
'When reading a Physiotherapy degree that first allows you to practice as Chartered Physiotherapist- understandably only a small-ish proportion of time can go into E&A and treatment of the neck. I therefore recommend this course to anyone wanting to attain a much more comprehensive understanding of neck E&A and appropriate treatments'
'Very good lecture. Excellent speaker, very knowledgable and engaging'
