Course overview
When current literature shows that trends in neck pain haven't significantly changed in 30 years, it signals a clear need for a shift in our treatment methodologies. 'Cervical Region Pain: Connections to the Whole Body', led by Karen Pryor, a seasoned expert with over 40 years of experience, offers a transformative solution to this challenge. Delve into the multifactorial causes of neck pain, ranging from degenerative disc disease and herniated discs to whiplash and the increasingly common forward head posture and learn comprehensive evaluation strategies to personalize treatment plans. Discover integrative and advanced therapy techniques that prove beneficial in both clinical and home settings. Moving beyond conventional treatment, the course adopts a holistic perspective on patient care. Gain insights into the role of previous trauma, healing language, and the influence of nutrition and hydration on disc health. Embrace innovative methods like breathwork and visualization, combined with hypnosis language, to synergize with the autonomic nervous system and reduce muscle tone during manual fascia treatments. Join us to blend traditional techniques with advanced, and offer integrative therapies for a more effective, holistic treatment experience.
