NECK TUTORIAL
According to recent statistics, at any given time, up to 30% of the population is suffering from neck pain. And get this: roughly 70% of us will have neck pain at some point in our lives. (Just thinking about it is making our necks hurt). Why are the numbers so high? And what can we do about it? The Movement Logic Neck Tutorial – our most in depth and comprehensive tutorial ever – is here to help with movement solutions for neck and upper back pain, and even jaw pain and headaches.
In this tutorial you will:
- Receive ~5 hours of viewing and practice materials
- Learn a movement-based approach to working with clients who have an array of neck concerns, or who simply want to get stronger and more flexible through the neck, shoulders, and upper back, reduce headaches and jaw pain, and breathe more easily.
- Acquire a progression of exercises that explore neck flexibility and strength, neck and shoulder relationships, integration of the neck with the thoracic spine, stress-reducing breathing techniques, as well as jaw pain and headaches. Many of these exercises can also easily be introduced into any movement class.
- Review musculoskeletal anatomy to better understand how the neck integrates with the rest of the spine and the shoulder complex.
- Study up-to-date, biopsychosocial pain science that breaks down old beliefs around neck positions and movements – and how we incorrectly emphasize position over function

ABOUT MOVEMENT LOGIC
The Movement Logic tutorials aim to enhance your problem-solving skills so you can work more effectively with your students and clients who are injured or in pain.
Become Anatomically and Biomechanically Informed
- Learn musculoskeletal anatomy to better understand how bodies move, adapt, maladapt, get injured, experience pain, and heal
- Familiarize yourself with common pathologies to better understand the cascade of your body's response to tissue injury, as well as how pain is commonly patterned in response to these injuries
Understand Pain
- You'll study up-to-date, biopsychosocial pain science that breaks down old beliefs in order to paint a more accurate picture of the often complicated and counterintuitive behavior of pain
- The biopsychosocial model is a holistic perspective to pain that looks at the relationship between your biology, your mind, and society, and how those elements together influence your whole body experience of pain
Acquire Teaching Skills
- You will acquire corrective exercise techniques for helping private clients who have diagnosed injuries as well as those with unspecified pain
- You'll learn best practices for presenting these corrective exercises in a group class

So to make sure you don’t miss out, we’re giving you one more day!
This is it (we really mean it this time). If you want it, this is your last chance for our latest Neck Tutorial.
