Physiotherapy in Pain Management Workshop

A pain-informed approach to the management
of headache and migraine

Details

Date: Sunday 13 April 2025
Time: 1:30pm - 5:00pm

Program

This session is intended for physiotherapists with an interest in pain-informed approaches to the management of headache and migraine. This workshop would also be suitable for other allied health professionals, such as exercise physiologists, psychologists, chiropractors and occupational therapists, as well as medical professionals who have an interest in headache and migraine.

The workshop will provide an overview of the different types of headache and migraine, particularly chronic headache and migraine. The workshop will explore different contributing factors towards headache and migraine using a biopsychosocial lens to inform clinical reasoning and a pain-informed approach to treatment. This will include exploring the interactions between tissue-based contributors, central and peripheral pain mediators, psychological factors and the social context. The workshop will then provide a framework for the treatment of headache and migraine, with a focus on the role of the physiotherapist.

The workshop will be interactive, with a mixture of short lecture style talks and practical sessions using case studies and patient examples to explore the assessment and treatment of headache and migraine.
