What it is

Knowing the Neck is a practical, evidence-informed workshop designed to deepen understanding of cervical spine function and its influence on whole-body organisation, recruitment, and movement quality.

This workshop moves beyond isolated neck mechanics to explore how cervical positioning, articulation, and proprioception shape global movement strategies. Participants will examine cervical anatomy and segmental motion, then apply this knowledge to targeted mobility and strength work for the neck. From there, the focus expands to how cervical input affects postural orientation, movement efficiency, and recruitment patterns through the body’s integrated systems.

The aim is simple but powerful: to give practitioners clearer frameworks and practical tools to assess, cue, and train cervical movement in a way that meaningfully improves whole-body performance, not just neck mobility in isolation.

Content

• Anatomy of the neck
• Understanding and analysis of segmental articulation of the cervical
• Exercises for promoting cervical movement and neck strength
• Relationship of cervical movement, proprioception and it’s affect on bodies
• recruitment and orientation of motion
• Exploration of exercises for cervical recruitment and proprioception and it’s
• affect within body recruitment
• Q&A

Outcome

Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of cervical movement mechanics and the confidence to apply targeted exercises and strategies that improve neck mobility, strength, proprioceptive input, and whole-body recruitment in practice.
