Headache

A headache can have many reasons and a physiotherapist will check your spine as well as asking you questions about your life style, diet and past medical history.

Often excessive tension in the neck muscles can be a trigger to the headache. Assuring that the work station is properly set up, checked your pillow, the visit to your optician is booked in your diary and your fluid intake is ok, treatment is going to focus on soft tissue release in the neck and scalp area as well as mobilisations of the spine and strengthening of the muscles. Breathing exercises can be suggested.

We also could refer to our acupuncturist Roberta Reeve for an assessment. Here some information about acupuncture and headache.
