Neck pain

2 reviews
2 learners

Neck pain is one of the top 3 most common complaints in daily practice. However, many practitioners admit to difficulties in understanding this region, which, in addition to its complexity, generates numerous fears that all too often lead to incomplete treatment.

This theoretical and practical e-learning course will enable you to fully understand the function of the cervical spine and its relationship with the thoracic spine. It will provide you with all the necessary keys to make a reliable diagnosis based on modern, scientifically proven concepts. Finally, it will cover a wide range of treatment options, from communication and therapeutic education to hands-on manual therapy techniques and a wide range of active exercises.

About

The aim of this training course is to make the treatment of cervicalgia with mobility or coordination disorders more accessible, without forgetting the basic knowledge of anatomy kinesiology, and emphasizing the crucial role of the physiotherapist in diagnosis, symptom modulation and active strategies to guarantee a lasting improvement.

Matthieu Loubiere is a physiotherapist specialized in musculoskeletal disorders. He is also an instructor in education and training. For almost 15 years, he has been working with professionals and students on shoulder pain and back pain. This is his second course with physioacademy.

Fabrice Barillec is also a physiotherapist specialized in musculoskeletal disorders. He is a teacher of kinesiology in initial training and also a trainer in continuing education, particularly in the field of spinal pain and manual therapy.

Objectives of the Course

The primary objective of this course is to improve skills in the management of cervicalgia associated with loss of mobility and coordination.

This course will enable you to:

- Improve your clinical reasoning as a healthcare professionals regarding cervical problems.

- Increase theoretical knowledge of the cervical spine in general and hypomobility and coordination disorders in particular.

- Learn a reliable and valid clinical examination procedure, including cervical spine exclusion tests (vascular and instability).

- Increase knowledge of best practice recommendations for this pathology.

- Acquire communication skills and techniques

- Acquire patient-centered passive and active techniques

Methodology and Pedagogy

This e-learning course consists of 3 distinct parts: Part 1 on Theory, Part 2 on Assessment, and Part 3 on Treatment of cervicalgia.

Each part is richly referenced to provide the most comprehensive content possible.

In addition, the course includes numerous 2D and 3D illustrations with extensive commentary to help you better understand the pathophysiology.

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for this training. However, our courses are designed by and for healthcare professionals. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you have the skills of the following professions: physiotherapist, rehabilitation physician or osteopath.
