“Neck & Shoulder Rehab Intensive: From dysfunctional to dynamic control”

This is a four part series of workshops designed to give insight and practical solutions for dealing with complicated neck and shoulder problems.  We invite therapists and experienced pilates instructors to apply the biomechanics of the neck and shoulder girdle, and understanding of the neuromotor system, to practical rehabilitation solutions.

As the first session, we will review most recent information on the neuromotor system in with an emphasis on applying theory to practice. In the second and third sessions, we will examine the biomechanics of the neck and shoulder girdle, and will apply the science to practical solutions. In the fourth and final segment, we will work on exercises designed to integrate the neck and shoulder through return to sport and daily activities.

This series is intended to be studied as a whole vs. in parts; all information is cumulative, thus why we present this as a package vs. individual workshops.
