Description
As part of the Healer Within series Sarah Key enjoins caring professionals to recognise the potent subtlety of using hands to mobilize  cervical vertebrae to relieve neck pain. This course also covers self-mobilization of the neck and the 6 important exercises that help bring home the cure. The first part covers basic anatomy, biomechanics and physiology of the spine, the neck in particular, and then how things go wrong. The second part of the course covers the important spinal mobilization techniques, with Sarah first showing on the plastic model spine and then on a living patient.
