Upper Crossed Syndrome

Healthcare is evolving, and there is a growing expectation for results, irrespective of payment sources. It’s crucial for practitioners to identify functional diagnoses that underlie their patients’ structural issues. This course, part of the Explosive Outcomes series, is focused on Upper Crossed Syndrome, a frequently neglected functional condition that can hinder patient recovery. Presented by Dr. Tim Bertelsman and Dr. Brandon Steele, this session will delve into effective identification and management strategies for this syndrome, aiming to enhance patient outcomes.

• •Identify the anatomical structures and postural patterns characteristic of Upper Crossed Syndrome
• •Recognize the functional movement dysfunctions that distinguish Upper Crossed Syndrome from other cervical and thoracic conditions
• •Apply evidence-based assessment techniques to evaluate patients presenting with Upper Crossed Syndrome
• •Develop and implement targeted corrective exercise and manual therapy protocols for this syndrome
• •Understand how Upper Crossed Syndrome perpetuates patient dysfunction and contributes to treatment resistance
• •Integrate functional diagnosis principles to address underlying causes rather than isolated symptoms
• •Enhance patient outcomes by creating individualized management strategies based on functional assessment findings
