104: The Many (Cervical) Facets of Neck Pain (with Til Luchau & Whitney Lowe)


Listen Later

The neck's facet joints (or the harder-to-to pronounce and remember "zygapophyseal joints") are the primary articulations involved in cervical movement. They are commonly thought to be involved in a range of painful cervical conditions. What do manual and massage therapists need to know? What are some helpful ways to think about and work with these joints? Whitney and Til think it through, and touch on topics such as:

  • Does or doesn't head-forward posture cause pain?
  • What about text-neck?
  • A self-assessment, and,
  • A hands-on technique for working with the cervical facets.
