Whether it’s a dull ache that lingers or a migraine that stops you in your tracks, head pain can affect work, family, and even simple daily activities. Many headaches are linked to tension in the neck, poor posture, jaw issues, or stress and physiotherapy can often help by addressing the underlying causes.
Identifying the Cause of Your Headaches
Successful treatment starts with understanding what’s driving your pain. In your initial appointment, we take the time to look at:
Your history:
When headaches started, how often they occur, and what makes them better or worse.
Lifestyle and posture:
Work setup, phone/laptop use, stress levels, sleep habits.
Muscle tension and movement:
Neck, shoulders, jaw mobility and tightness.
Potential triggers:
From certain activities to prolonged positions or stress patterns.
This deeper understanding means we can target the right cause, rather than just treating the symptoms.
How We Help
Our treatment is tailored to you, but may include:
- Hands-on therapy to release tight neck, shoulder, and jaw muscles that contribute to pain
- Posture and ergonomic adjustments so work, driving, and daily tasks don’t strain your body
- Jaw (TMJ) assessment and care if clenching or grinding is part of the problem
- Targeted exercises to restore movement, improve posture, and reduce tension build-up
- Education and prevention strategies so you can recognise early warning signs and stop headaches before they start
