bridge the gap between clinical guidelines and hands-on practice, empowering participants to
accurately screen for red flags and trauma via the Canadian C-Spine Ruies, identify
psychosocial risk fa-ctors, and apply a multimod-al treatment approach-iuclueling targetless
manual therapy and specific therapeutic exercise-to accelerate recovery and prevent the
transition to chronic disability.
