Headaches

Can Physiotherapy Help With Headaches?

Persistent headaches often start in the neck and upper back rather than the head itself. Our physiotherapists assess your posture, joint mobility, and muscle tension to identify the root cause and provide lasting relief, with clinics in Annerley, Runcorn, Capalaba, and Waterford West.

What Types of Headaches Do We Treat?

We commonly treat:

• Cervicogenic (neck-related) headaches

• Tension-type headaches

• Jaw and TMJ-related headaches

• Migraines linked to neck and postural dysfunction

Could Your Headache Be Coming From Your Neck?

Headaches originating from the neck are often felt at the back of the head, temples, jaw, forehead or behind the eyes. You may suspect your neck is a factor if you also notice neck pain, dizziness or light-headedness, or if your headache worsens after sustained postures or repetitive movement.

How Do We Treat Neck-Related Headaches?

Where your neck is contributing, treatment may include joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, muscle stretches, electrotherapy and postural correction, along with exercises to strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight ones. We'll also give you personalised advice on your work station set-up, posture in the car, and everyday tasks around the house, so improvements last well beyond your appointment.
