The 5-step program will help you pace the progression of your MVA clients so
they continue to improve at a reasonable rate. “Slow and Steady when Ready” is
the theme of whiplash and concussion recovery.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able
to:
1. Understand the trauma and slow recovery of the cervical
spine and head/brain.
