This talk provides an updated analysis of  risk assessment of the cervical spine with regards to serious neurovascular events.  The talk summarises the recently revised IFOMPT Framework for Vascular Pathologies of the Neck.  It also leads in to a review of contemporary evidence and practice on rehabilitation for people experiencing neck pain and dysfunction. The premise of this is that if we provide best practice for risk assessment, then effective physical therapy management and rehabilitation should and can be implemented to the most effective levels. The webinar is suitable for all clinicians, educators, researchers and students who have an interest and duty of care for people with head and neck pain and dysfunction.
