Many seniors & people with disabilities rely on telehealth services to receive headache care. By making #telehealth flexibilities permanent, we can ensure that this expanded access continues. We urge Congress to pass the Connect for Health Act. #HOH2024 qrco.de/VHOH24

As a PT helping those with migraine & headache disorders, I’ve joined advocates for Fall 2024’s #HeadacheOnTheHill to push for key legislative changes. We're supporting the Safe Step Act, Chronic Pain Research, and expanded telehealth! #HOH2024 #migraine #headache @AHDAorg

I think exercise is the most under utilized strategy for long-term #headache management It has the potential to have the greatest impact on a persons overall health, wellbeing, and quality of life. #migraine

Pet peeve of mine… The cervical spine does not retract. Chin tucks do not cause cervical retraction It’s lower cervical extension with upper cervical flexion. #headaches #migraine

I saw another generalized post/blog about stretching for #migraine… its just the same regurgitated nonsense that provides relatively useless info that is in no way evidenced based! Fact: Studies show that strengthening exercises are more effective than stretching

I really hate seeing reels “reminding” those with headaches or migraine to stretch their neck Stretching the neck isnt needed for all w/ migraine. neck pain or tightness doesnt mean you need to stretch for some w/ migraine, stretching can make them worse and even be dangerous!

Tyler Phillips just threw a complete game shutout for the team he grew up rooting for. Baseball is the best.

Umpire Rob Drake rang up 3 Phillies on pitches outside the zone in the first 3 innings. When hitting coach Kevin Long complained, Drake ejected him. Drake is ranked 82nd of 89 umpires this season. #Phillies #Guardians

Taking the time to educate about the a persons headache disorder is so important I’ve take whole sessions just to educate because it’s that important
New research from #MSKResearch Group @FaBeR! A review shows education = key in physiotherapy for headache patients. 3 main themes: handling headache triggers, promoting active lifestyle & evaluating posture. More: link.springer.com/article/10… @WimDankaerts @MingelsSarah
