Description

The purpose of this course is to improve the participant's ability to recognize the signs and symptoms of primary and select secondary headache variants and understand the underlying mechanisms and pathophysiology as it relates to patient management. Evidence-informed physical therapy and interdisciplinary management strategies will be presented so that participants will be able guide a patient to interventions that are in the best interest of the patient. Emphasis will also be placed on manual therapy examination and treatment and considerations for patient education and exercise interventions will be explored. Upon completion of this course, participants will have the requisite knowledge and skills to begin managing appropriate patients with headache and/or TM disorders and also recognize when additional consultation with other healthcare specialties is required.
