About the Webinar

Physiotherapists are often involved in the management of various forms of headache including cervicogenic headache, migraine and tension type headache. In part this is due to presence of neck pain in these patients. However, the presence of neck pain in headache is not necessarily associated with cervical musculoskeletal dysfunction. A lack of musculoskeletal dysfunction suggests treatment to the cervical spine is unlikely to be helpful. Thus the role of the physiotherapist is to accurately identify the presence of neck musculoskeletal dysfunction, relate this information to headache symptoms and use the assessment findings to build a rationale for physiotherapy management.

The  second presentation will focus on the pathophysiology  and the management of primary headache, and specifically migraine and cervicogenic headache and tension-type headache. It will give an insight into the management and diagnostic procedures for patients with migraine and headache. This will include discussing effective interventions.
