Description: This online course is designed for rehabilitation professionals seeking to elevate their expertise in assessing and treating cervical pain and dysfunction. Grounded in the latest research, this course integrates the regional interdependence model through the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) to refine clinical decision-making and treatment strategies. Participants will explore contemporary classification systems for cervical pain and gain hands-on proficiency in evidence-based assessment and intervention. The masterclass covers the most common cervical conditions seen in rehabilitation, including mobility deficits, neck pain with radiating pain, movement coordination deficits, and headaches. Instruction includes in-depth demonstrations of validated examination techniques, advanced manual therapy applications, and targeted therapeutic exercise interventions. Beyond assessment and treatment, this course emphasizes the clinical integration of SFMA findings, progression to Functional Movement Systems discharge testing, and strategies to optimize musculoskeletal health across the lifespan. This masterclass is designed for experienced clinicians looking to enhance their diagnostic accuracy, treatment efficiency, and patient outcomes.

Objectives: 1. Utilize contemporary classification systems and validated examination techniques to accurately diagnose common cervical conditions. 2. Incorporate the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) framework to assess movement dysfunction and apply the regional interdependence model to guide clinical decision-making. 3. Develop proficiency in evidence-based manual therapy techniques and therapeutic exercise interventions tailored to specific cervical pathologies to optimize patient outcomes. 4. Apply SFMA findings to design and implement progression strategies leading to Functional Movement Systems discharge testing, ensuring a comprehensive rehabilitation approach. 5. Critically appraise current evidence on cervical assessment and rehabilitation to refine clinical reasoning and enhance treatment effectiveness. 6. Apply advanced problem-solving skills in complex case scenarios to refine diagnostic accuracy and intervention selection for challenging cervical conditions.
