MOVEMI - Moving away from migraine: prevention of
▶Summary
The MOVEMI project promotes physical activity (PA) as a key tool for enhancing health and well-being, with a strong focus on inclusion and diversity. Targeting women aged 18-50, the initiative combines intersectoral expertise to prevent migraines and improve mental health through moderate PA, fostering healthier, more inclusive communities across Europe. Led by the European Migraine & Headache Alliance (EMHA), MOVEMI unites 7 partners from 3 EU countries, including municipalities, physiotherapy associations, academia, NGOs, and communication specialists. Together, the consortium aims to raise awareness of PA’s benefits, develop inclusive methodologies, and advocate for health-enhancing activities. The project will deliver a comprehensive strategy centered on: 1. Awareness & Inclusion: A campaign to highlight the benefits of PA for migraine prevention and mental health while ensuring accessibility for diverse populations. 2. Capacity Building: Developing a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) to train physiotherapists and healthcare professionals in using PA for migraine prevention. 3. Digital Empowerment: Launching a user-friendly APP for citizens to promote PA as a preventive measure and connect them to relevant tools. 4. Pilot Implementation: A 17-month program in 2 urban centers applying PA-based methodologies with trained physiotherapists, creating tangible benefits for individuals with headache disorders. MOVEMI’s outcomes include improved physical, mental, & emotional health for citizens (particularly women), better-trained healthcare professionals across Europe, and validated methodologies for integrating PA into preventive healthcare. The project will also encourage public institutions to adopt and expand health-enhancing actions in their communities, driving long-term impact and sustainability. By uniting diverse sectors and stakeholders, MOVEMI leverages sport and PA to address societal challenges, promote wellbeing, and build an inclusive, healthier Europe. that is published through this page expresses the views of the project beneficiaries only and it does not represent the views of the European Union or the European Commission.
