PowerTalk: Manual Therapy and Exercise for Headache

Headache is both a symptom and a disease making management difficult. In addition to neck pain, there is increasing evidence of cervical musculoskeletal dysfunction in a variety of headache forms. Although manual therapy and exercise has been advocated in headache management, evidence only supports their use for specific headache types. Therefore, classification of headache is important, to adequately target management. This seminar will present an evidence based approach to the clinical classification and management of headache forms suitable for manual therapy and exercise.

• To promote an understanding of the mechanisms underlying upper cervical spine involvement in headache as well as classification and management of headache disorders suitable for manual therapy management.
• To develop a strong evidence-based biomedical basis towards the examination, evaluation and physical treatment of the upper cervical spine in specific headache disorders.
• To promote an understanding of the mechanisms for patient presentations of dysfunction such as in upper cervical spine involvement in specific headache disorders.
