Headaches are one of the most common medical complaints as they can affect anyone regardless of their age, race, or gender. Most people experience them at some point in their lives. Without effective treatment, some headaches may become extremely debilitating. Physical therapists face such issues and treat patients with migraines and headaches almost every day in their practice. For this reason, the Department of Physical Therapy at Antonine University organized a seminar entitled “Migraines and Headaches" on June 8, 2019, at the Hadat-Baabda Campus.

This seminar, organized in collaboration with the Order of Physiotherapists in Lebanon and the Headache and Chronic Pain Clinic at Bellevue Medical Centre, was attended by more than 230 physical therapists from all over Lebanon. For a whole day, key speakers shed light on the different causes and treatment modalities of this condition and studied the latest techniques used for controlling headaches and treating them.
