Presented by Caleb Fenton

Power of Assessment Webinar is geared to RMTs at any level wanting to take an in-depth approach to assessment and apply specific treatment for headache symptoms.

Migraines are a type of headache that can cripple individuals that experience them for several hours or even days. As RMTs, many of us may have had clients cancel, due to a severe migraine. Nausea, dizziness, sometimes vomiting and sensory hypersensitivity can cripple the sufferer. This webinar will explore different types of migraines, triggers, palliative vs provocative factors and how a RMT can aid or educate a client in understanding and treating migraines.

Newer studies suggest cervicogenic headaches often are under-diagnosed due to similarities to migraine headaches. We’ll explore and compare both conditions to aid in differentiating them and from this, we may be able to dramatically aid our clients to make migraine type headaches more manageable.
