If you work with older clients with the forward head posture, limited range of motion and chronic neck tension, this series of Two Anatomy Geeks™ was created for you.
This webinar series provides a detailed anatomical review of the muscles and bony landmarks of the head and neck complex.
This series was recorded and is available for viewing at your convenience.
PURCHASEHead & Neck Anatomy
Using creative visuals, the functional anatomy, biomechanics and motor control of the muscles of the head and neck complex are explained. This unique approach also provides real-world strategies for addressing the most common causes of chronic tightness, discomfort, and compensated posture and movement patterns associated with the suboptimal function of the head and neck complex.
Upon completion of this 3-part interactive, webinar series, you will be able to:
-
Confidently identify the origin, insertion, and action of the primary muscles of the head and neck complex and how these muscles impact posture and movement.
-
Discover how the Integrative Movement SystemTM can be utilized to create both short and long-term improvements in neck posture and range of motion using simple, yet effective corrective exercises
-
Apply safe stretching and strengthening strategies to help your clients successfully accomplish their health and fitness goals.
Whether you are working virtually or in person, this series will deliver both practical information as well as corrective exercise strategies, so you feel confident in addressing:
- the muscles that impact the forward head posture including the deep neck flexors and extensors;
- the rotators of the head and neck including sternocleidomastoid and scalenes;
- the deep neck stabilizers that greatly impact neck tension and balance including the suboccipitals, longus coli and longus capitis.
