Living evidence – Manual therapy and exercise for neck pain
APTA has partnered with IFOMPT to provide this course. Please provide feedback so that we can continue offering these types of courses.
Anita will present the evidence from a risk advising grade perspective and the tidal wave of information that is reaching us. Take home messages for clinicians will include: how do I dose my manual therapy; how do I dose my exercise; what specific elements of exercise do I need; and what is our future direction in terms of running randomised trials and knowledge translation dissemination and uptake.
