APTEI: Cervical & Thoracic Spine

This is an in-person, interactive, fun and PRACTICAL course. The learning experience will be incomparable to an on-line course or anything offered through AI :o)

Would you like read over 1000 TESTIMONIALS?

This course will enable you to gain a practical knowledge of the possible anatomical and psychosocial factors leading to persistent neck, thoracic region and rib cage pain. Once the pain classification is identified, optimal management options of acute and persistent cervical whiplash associated disorders (WAD) will be clearly reviewed.

So what does the evidence (as of 2025) thus far tell us regarding optimal management of WADs?

• Patient re-assurance ++
• Pain Education
• Maintenance of activity levels, but not too much
• General exercise program
• Specific exercise programs focusing on neck and shoulders
• Encouragement of coping strategies
• Simple analgesics

Although the research papers make the management sound so simple, we all know it is not so easy. This course will help you become more confident in your treatment of acute and persistent neck and thoracic spine pain knowing that you’re providing the best treatments based on the best available evidence.
