Course Description:

Headache is a highly prevalent condition, which is both a symptom and a disease. The International Headache Society lists more than 300 different forms of headache, each requiring a different intervention. Although many people with headache have musculoskeletal impairments of the neck, not all respond to addressing those impairments through physical therapy. In fact only a few forms of headache respond to such treatment. The aim of this presentation is to illustrate the classification and management of different headache forms focusing on the use of physical treatments including exercise in the management of headache.
