Workshop Title: Functional Rehabilitation of the Cervical Spine - Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Intensive Hands-On Learning
A distinguished group of physicians and physical therapists will present a comprehensive program on the medical, surgical, and rehabilitation management of acute and chronic cervical pain. Diagnostic criteria and phased rehabilitation protocols will be presented. An extensive evidenced based reference list will be provided as well as a detailed manual outlining course content. Hands-on laboratories are scheduled to practice specific examination, manual therapy and rehabilitation techniques and to ask important clinical questions to our presenters. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with spine surgeons and pain management specialists who will describe common surgical procedures, pain management techniques, and post-operative rehabilitation strategies.

Workshop Objectives
Upon the completion of this workshop, the practitioner will be expected to:
- Understand current theoretical and practice paradigms for cervical spine rehabilitation
- Demonstrate clinical examination skills of the cervical spine
- Identify the diagnostic importance of radiological data for determining the most appropriate therapeutic intervention(s)
- Identify "behavioral and medical red flags" for patient referral and/or consultation
- Synthesize examination findings to identify movement impairment syndromes leading to diagnostic specific rehabilitation strategies
- Identify valid and reliable functional outcome measures
- Add to their existing clinical skills: specific joint mobilization; advanced soft tissue techniques; therapeutic exercise, active therapeutic movement; cervical stabilization; task specific training, UE Ranger, posture re-education, functional training; and movement re-education
- Identify surgical criteria: discectomy, segmental instability, cervical stenosis
- Understand phased post-operative rehabilitation protocols
- Compare and contrast the use of selected pain management procedures: electrical stimulation, iontophoresis, Biofreeze, ice and heat, medication, corticosteroid injections
- Perform cervical joint stabilization training exercises
- Practice task specific training techniques to improve function
- Benefit from intensive hands-on laboratory instruction
- Identify and locate pertinent references for evidenced based practice
