OVERVIEW
Biomechanics - Upper Body is organized by Niel Asher Education.
The shoulder, neck, upper back, and wider upper quadrant are deeply interconnected through anatomy, fascia, movement control, posture, stability, and functional biomechanics.
Biomechanics of the Upper Body provides a detailed exploration of upper quadrant function, helping practitioners better understand how movement quality, myofascial relationships, stability, and common movement errors may contribute to dysfunction and injury.
Presented by Chartered Physiotherapist Phillipa Butler, this course integrates principles from biomechanics, myofascial meridians, Clinical Pilates, therapeutic yoga, Anatomy Trains, and core stability to support a more complete approach to assessment, exercise selection, rehabilitation, and injury prevention.
Description:
Across this 5-hour CE/CPD course, participants will explore the anatomy, function, assessment, and rehabilitation of the shoulder, neck, upper back, and upper quadrant.
The course combines detailed lectures, advanced assessment principles, therapeutic exercise concepts, movement analysis, and holistic rehabilitation approaches to help practitioners better understand upper quadrant dysfunction and its wider biomechanical relationships.
Participants will examine the role and function of fascia, key myofascial and anatomical links through the body, the sequence of events required for ideal movement, and the key components of biomechanical assessment.
Supported by 3.5 hours of video classes, a fully illustrated course workbook, lesson quizzes, online examination, subtitles in English, French, German, and Spanish, and certificate of completion, this course provides a structured learning experience for professionals who want to improve their understanding of upper body biomechanics and rehabilitation.
