Neck & Back Pain: How Structure & Function Relate

Course overview

This home study course examines how structure, posture, breathing, and movement relate to neck and back pain. Participants will explore the principle that structure influences function and function influences structure, gaining an understanding of how postural adaptations, biomechanical relationships, and anatomical interconnections contribute to musculoskeletal dysfunction. The course also highlights the diaphragm's role in posture, breathing, and movement efficiency, while demonstrating how regional impairments can influence symptoms and function throughout the body. Designed for rehabilitation and healthcare professionals, this course provides a foundational framework for evaluating and managing neck and back pain from a whole-body, movement-based perspective.
