Whiplash

Neck related pain from trauma i.e. from a motor vehicle accident or sporting related injury where whiplash was sustained, can lead to ongoing neck dysfunction and impairments in the future. We know from research that from the sustained injury it can lead to changes in what neck muscles we use and how. The initial change of muscle control is a protective one – good job brain! However, these sustained changes in the neck muscles is what can lead to ongoing dysfunction and pain – not so great, thanks brain! .

Cervical Proprioception

Cervical (neck) proprioception is the ability to know where you are in space and is an important function in movement and posture. It takes into account the joint movement and the joint position.

Proprioception is a critical function for everyday movement such as endurance from sitting at the computer to sport that requires faster movement and coordination of the neck muscles for repositioning.
