This document discusses the cervical spine. It begins with the basic anatomy of the cervical spine, including bones, ligaments, and muscles. It then covers the biomechanics and range of motion of the cervical spine. Various manual muscle tests and special tests for the cervical spine are described. Finally, different mobilization techniques for the cervical spine are presented, including techniques for the upper cervical spine.

35. CERVICAL SPINE
•The cervical spine has the
greatest mobility of the entire
spine, mostly in the sagittal
plane and especially in
extension.
