Headaches & Migraines

Headaches can have many different causes, and neck pain, muscle tension and reduced cervical mobility can contribute to or aggravate certain types of headache.

We assess the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms and provide individualised treatment for cervicogenic headaches, tension-type headaches and neck-related headache symptoms, as well as physiotherapy support for people living with migraines.

We commonly assist with

  • Cervicogenic or neck-related headaches
  • Tension-type headaches
  • Headaches associated with neck pain and stiffness
  • Muscle tension contributing to headache symptoms
  • Recurring headaches associated with posture or prolonged desk work
  • Migraine where neck pain or musculoskeletal factors are also present
Headache & Migraine Care

Assessment & Treatment

Treatment begins with an assessment of your headache history, neck mobility, muscle function, posture and other factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.

Depending on your presentation, treatment may include hands-on physiotherapy, manual therapy, targeted exercise, mobility work, strengthening and practical strategies for managing contributing factors.

Reducing Headache Impact

Our Goal

Our goal is to help reduce the frequency and impact of your headaches, improve neck function and give you practical strategies to better manage your symptoms.

Where headache symptoms suggest that further investigation or medical management is needed, we will recommend appropriate referral and work alongside your treating healthcare professionals.
