Physiotherapy for headaches and migraines

If you suffer from regular headaches or migraines physiotherapy may be able to help. There is a growing body of evidence supporting the effectiveness of physiotherapy treatment for headaches.

Physiotherapy treatment for headache and migraine can include:-

• manual therapy to the neck and upper back
• acupuncture
• relaxation techniques
• exercises to strengthen the deep muscles of the neck

Lifestyle factors such as stress, posture and work-station set-up can also bring on a headache, and these will be addressed as part of your assessment.
