OVERVIEW
Treating Chronic Neck Pain is organized by Niel Asher Education.
Chronic neck pain is rarely the result of a single structure or isolated dysfunction. Persistent symptoms often involve a combination of trigger points, referred pain, movement adaptation, postural stress, thoracic stiffness, breathing mechanics, muscular guarding, and nervous system sensitization.
Treating Chronic Neck Pain is a practical, clinically focused course designed to help rehabilitation professionals better understand and manage persistent neck pain presentations through a broader, more integrated treatment approach.
Presented by Dr. Jonathan Kuttner, DPT, this course combines video tutorials, a fully illustrated workbook, companion learning materials, and practical clinical reasoning strategies to help therapists improve assessment, treatment planning, and long-term outcomes for clients with chronic neck pain.
Description:
Across this 4-hour CE/CPD course, participants will explore the many factors that contribute to chronic neck pain, including trigger points, referred pain patterns, cervical and thoracic mechanics, postural influences, breathing dysfunction, movement avoidance, and sensitization.
Rather than focusing solely on painful structures, the course encourages therapists to view neck pain within the wider context of movement, function, adaptation, and recovery.
Students will learn how chronic pain presentations develop and persist, how protective movement strategies may contribute to ongoing symptoms, and how manual therapy, rehabilitation, exercise, education, and progressive movement restoration can work together to support recovery.
Supported by video instruction, a fully illustrated workbook, a companion course, lesson quizzes, final examination, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this course provides a comprehensive framework for treating persistent neck pain presentations.
