Cs has low weight bearing, but is important for mobility (in lumbar spine mobility isn"t as important(cid:524) for negotiating: (stability vs. mobility) environment. Cancer, infection etc. (lumbar spine: scat section spinal red flags) C2-3: pain into back of head, c5-6: pain into supraspinous fossa, scapular border. Wad (whiplash associated disorders: mechanism: whiplash motion, ex. Headache (cervical issues causing headache: cervicogenic headache, a headache that exists because of a pathology in the cervical spine more specifically upper cervical spine (c1-c2) Identifying postural issues that can lead to cervical problems/headaches: not everyone with fhp has pathology, but it is an indicator. Stretched position is opposite of what it does. Target muscles with the goal of reducing fhp. Target muscles that are limiting rotation and/or lateral flexion. If it feels better, has let go a bit, then actively use the new rom (cid:523)tp won"t be restricting motion anymore)
