Patients’ expectations and experiences of physiotherapy management of migraine
The findings indicate that patients seeking physiotherapy for management of their migraine prioritise short-term relief in parallel with being provided with long-term strategies. Physiotherapists should be equipped with the skills and knowledge to provide personalised advice and education, appropriate manual therapy and other treatments for short-term relief and self-management strategies that patients are seeking, in conjunction with broader medical care.
