The Cervical Spine Series is a multi-part educational program designed for allied health professionals who want to master the complexities of cervical spine assessment and management. This course goes beyond anatomy and theory—it focuses on practical, evidence-based strategies that can be applied immediately in clinical practice.


Across the modules, participants learn essential skills including red flag screening for serious spinal conditions, comprehensive clinical assessment techniques, and the interpretation of cervical pain patterns. The series covers functional outcome measures, neurological screening, and risk stratification, ensuring clinicians can confidently identify issues and tailor interventions.


Real-world case studies, video demonstrations, and guided clinical reasoning exercises show how to integrate manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient education into effective, patient-centered care plans. Each module builds on the last, creating a clear framework for assessment, treatment planning, and ongoing management.


By the end of the course, participants will have the confidence and clarity to deliver safe, evidence-based interventions that align with best-practice guidelines. This series strengthens both hands-on skills and clinical decision-making, empowering practitioners to achieve optimal outcomes for clients with cervical spine conditions.
