Do you suffer from headaches?

Have you ever thought of physiotherapy treatment for your headache?

There are numerous different types of headaches including migraine, tension type headaches and headaches arising from the neck. Many headaches can be caused by reduced movement in the neck, having the neck in a certain position, increased tightness or tension in the neck muscles and sustained poor postures e.g. sitting at a computer.

Physiotherapy treatment may involve mobilising the joints of the neck, soft tissue massage, trigger point release and stretching of neck muscles and retraining muscle strength and coordination.
