A test-treat-retest approach will be emphasized.
2. Exercise Interventions Lab Based on Neck Pain Guidelines
This chapter will introduce the learner to the appropriate selection of exercises including dosing and progression strategies based on the examination findings specific to the pediatric and adolescent neck pain population. Furthermore, clinical practice guidelines will be used as supportive framework for the development of an exercise base management strategy.

There will be a focus on appropriate language, especially for the facilitation of a therapeutic alliance. Clinical practice guidelines are used as a framework.
