Headaches
Reduce headache frequency and intensity by addressing posture, muscle tension, and joint issues through manual therapy, soft tissue therapy and therapeutic exercise.
"Manual therapy and posture correction can help reduce headache intensity and frequency"
Physiotherapy offers significant value in the treatment of headaches, particularly those stemming from musculoskeletal issues such as tension-type headaches and cervicogenic headaches.
By addressing contributing factors like poor posture, muscle tightness, joint dysfunction, and stress, physiotherapy helps reduce both the frequency and intensity of headache episodes.
Overall, physiotherapy not only treats current symptoms but also promotes long-term management and prevention of headaches through personalized care.
What works
Techniques such as manual therapy, soft tissue massage, posture correction, and targeted exercises can relieve tension in the neck and upper back, which are common sources of referred pain.
Modalities like dry needling and therapeutic ultrasound may also be used to enhance recovery.

A key benefit of physiotherapy is its holistic and drug-free approach, which can be especially valuable for individuals seeking to avoid long-term medication use.
