Cervical Region - Sport Massage and MVA Considerations is a focused continuing-education course designed for massage therapists working with clients affected by motor vehicle accidents (MVA). The course emphasizes orthopaedic assessment, evidence-informed treatment strategies, and the prescription of safe, effective home stretching exercises to support recovery and functional return. In addition, the course addresses key clinical realities of MVA cases, including pain behaviors, tissue irritability, whiplash-associated disorders, staged rehabilitation, documentation standards, and collaboration with insurers and other healthcare professionals. Therapists will develop clinical reasoning skills to tailor sport-massage interventions that are appropriate, defensible, and client-centered within the MVA rehabilitation context (Bussières et al., 2016; Magee, 2021).
