Video Course: The Big Three: Addressing the Major Muscles Restricting Cervical Rotation

Doug Nelson

While there are many muscles that have the potential to limit cervical rotation, this presentation focuses on three major muscles that most commonly play the biggest role in limiting the client’s rotation range of motion: splenius cervicis, semispinalis cervicis, and obliquus capitis inferior. Learn to accurately measure cervical rotation restrictions in both the seated and supine positions. After exploring the anatomical and functional aspects of these three muscles, you will explore multiple treatment options with in-depth hands-on demonstration. The goal of this presentation is to present treatment strategies that are most likely to have the greatest effect on the most common cervical complaint. This course was featured during the 2016 ABMP Head & Neck Summit.
