KC Online: Muscle Synergies of the Neck & Shoulder

About the course

Description

This course focuses on testing the recruitment efficiency of muscles within a clinical setting. It employs the muscle classification model (Comerford & Mottram, 2001) and principles of neurophysiology and biomechanics to help clinicians address movement related presentations. Delivered by Mark Comerford, this course is specifically designed to help clinicians deliver targeted movement retraining to successfully manage each patient’s pain, pathology, and compromised function of the neck and shoulder. The module can be taken as standalone course or as part of the Kinetic Control Movement Therapist (KCMT) accreditation route.

Who’s it for?

Kinetic Control courses are designed for registered medical health professionals such as physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, podiatrists etc.

In exceptional circumstances, experienced non-medical health professionals may be allowed to attend Kinetic Control courses but these participants MUST be able demonstrate that the course material is within their scope of practice.
