Finally Understand Headaches & Learn How Physiotherapy Can be Effective for Patients with Headaches
Headaches are so prevalent in patients we often don’t even consider them as something that can be treated. Patients often take it as something they have to live with and use medication for relief.
However, research has shown that physiotherapy & manual therapy is more effective for different forms of headaches than usual care +/- medication. And yet, many clinics don’t offer any help to this huge patient group as they often lack knowledge & skills.
In our Online Course ”
Headache Treatment in Clinical Practice” by top headache researcher René Castien from the Vrije University of Amsterdam we help you to become an expert in the clinical treatment of different forms of headaches.
René has currently published 28 papers on headaches and has taught thousands of manual therapy MSc students at SOMT University Amersfoort & Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He can do exactly the same for you from the comfort of your home – so you can become a headache expert too!
Diagnose & Treat All Common Types of Headache
Screening, diagnosing, and treating patients with headaches is a challenging, but highly rewarding task we are confronted with as therapists.
Many therapists either don’t know how physiotherapy can be highly effective for headaches or are overwhelmed by the complexity of patients suffering from chronic headaches.
When is a headache a red flag? Is it related to the neck, tension-type headache, or migraine? How to assess those forms? What treatment techniques should I use? How are headaches influenced by psychosocial and lifestyle issues?
If you’re unsure about the questions above, you will absolutely love this online course.

Not many curricula of physio schools/universities spend much time on the pathophysiology, assessment & management of headaches.

informatieve cursus
Leuke en interessante hoofdpijn cursus waarbij gebruik gemaakt wordt van up to date wetenschappelijke onderzoeken. Er wordt een mooie afwisseling gemaakt tussen theorie en praktijk. Na deze cursus kun je goed onderscheid maken tussen verschillende soorten hoofdpijn en weet je wat de beste behandelmethode is.
Great learning experience
First time doing a full online formation on a subject and it was amazing, great way to move through the different topics.
The assessment and quizz keeps you accountable and you have a great, practical tool that you can apply directly into your practice like next day in.
Highly recommended
Quality guaranteed
First time using Physiotutors; a very user friendly way of learning. An in depth theoretic background to start off with, before continuing to a more practical approach. After every chapter, you’re invited to do a little quiz and thus test yourself. Highly applicable course for your practice.
Good insight on headache treatment
First time doing a course with physiotutors.
I would say the content is very useful, interesting and up to date.
The only downside on this course was for some videos in the practice section, the sound wasn’t working. However, the videos were fairly straight forward without the sound so it was fine to understand the content, so it wasn’t much of an issue to have no sound.
For some section, it didn’t include the latest research but it’s difficult to constantly update the content of a course when new research is published everyday.
One very good point was the fact that the teacher critics some of the studies that were published so you feel that it’s not just reading the conclusion.
An experts guide through the headache landscape!
No better tutor than René Castien to introduce us to the fascinating field of the treatment rationale and possibilities for physio- and manual therapists. Uptodate, for so far as possible in this fast moving field, practical and with a good deal of treatment options that are both evidence based and with a good deal of clinical expertise. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and was pleasantly surprised by the clear and methodogical presentation of the material. I can highly recommend this course to any clinician engaged with or interested in the treatment of patients with headache. A no nonsense, applicable and practical course!

I would like to see improved quality of the explanations in the video portion of the course.

A perfect course to update your knowledge about headache
Evidencebased, easy to follow. Perfect!
informatieve cursus mbt hoofdpijn
goede cursus, helaas niet in Nederlands en helaas zijn ook niet alle artikelen makkelijk te verkrijgen
duidelijke filmpjes met goede technieken mbt onderzoek en behandeling
Opmerking Physiotutors: De gehele cursus is wel in het Nederlands verkrijgbaar.
Very Interesting info and practical knowledge

Good EBP study, with a nice variety of information. Sometimes a little bit hard to follow the information given in another language than my own.
Good quality course with up-to-date literature
The course is well structured and with up-to-date literature. It provides enough practical tips. There’s definitely a lot to learn about this subject!
uitgebreide hoofdpijncursus
Veel informatie over de drie meest voorkomende hoofdpijnsoorten. Eerst uitgebreid theoretische achtergrond.
Daarna ook veel aandacht voor onderzoeken en behandelingen, verduidelijkt met filmpjes.
Fijn dat deze informatie ten alle tijden teruggekeken kan worden voor een opfrisser.
De cursus zelf is vertaald in het Nederlands, maar de vele wetenschappelijke artikelen zijn dat helaas niet.
Hierdoor ging bij mij wel erg veel tijd zitten in het doornemen daarvan.
Top!
Great course! Everything is covered from diagnosis to treatment (-options) including the latest evidence backing everything up. The practical/skills videos on are also perfectly explained, therefore hands on skills and exercises can be easily implemented in daily practice.
Great course!
Great course to update your knowledge about headaches.
Evidence based and easy to implement in practice!
Great content and resourses
The course was full of explanations, plenty of research and demonstrations. I would say that it took me longer than 14 hours to complete as I wanted to be thorough with my reading and practical component.
Rene and the physio tutors team were always available via email if you needed any info.
I would recommend this course if you want a better understanding of the management and manual therapy of headache and migraine.
