<I or insert your name> attended the <insert number of days> day Watson Headache® Institute, Level <insert course level, ie Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3> <insert course name ie Foundation/Consolidation/Certification> Headache Course titled “The Role of C1-C3 Cervical Afferents in Primary Headache”. The course was held on <Insert Date, Month, Year>, in <Insert city>, <Insert country> and presented by Dean H Watson, Australian Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist. For further information, go to: www.WatsonHeadacheInstitute.com.
The course comprised <Insert number of hours> hours and was based on the Watson Headache® Approach, a protocol for the skilled assessment and management of the upper cervical (neck) spine in headache and migraine conditions. The Watson Headache® Approach is recognised as a scientifically researched method of examination and treatment.
The diagnostic accuracy of the Watson Headache® Approach is unparalleled. It can confirm if disorders in the upper neck are responsible for headache or migraine and determine the exact nature of the disorder as well as which spinal joints are involved. There is no guesswork and no cracking or manipulation. Its unique and powerful feature involves temporary reproduction and resolution (easing) of usual head pain. For further information, go to: www.WatsonHeadacheApproach.com.
For Level 3 attendees who achieve a minimum standard of competency, additional permission will be given to use the name Watson Headache® Certified Practitioner but only if a separate “Permissions Agreement to Use the Name” is accepted. That permission will not replace this marketing permission.
The above authorised marketing text may change as the Institute’s knowledge evolves. Changes will be communicated by email and on the Institute’s website. For further information and guidance please refer to the Institute’s “IP User Manual” at: www.watsonheadache.com/legal.
