Headaches can be more than just a nuisance—they can impact your daily life, affecting work, social interactions, and overall well-being. While many rely on medications for relief, physiotherapy offers a holistic and effective approach. At Inspire Health and Medical, we specialise in treating headaches by addressing their physical origins.
How Physiotherapy Eases Headaches
Physiotherapy provides a targeted approach to managing headaches, especially those linked to musculoskeletal issues. Whether it’s tension headaches caused by poor posture or migraines with neck involvement, physiotherapy can address root causes rather than merely alleviating symptoms.
Why Choose Physiotherapy for Headache Relief?
- Identifying Cause of Headaches: Our senior resident physiotherapist, Katherine Edmonds, is a Watson Headache Certified Practitioner, who focuses on identifying and treating the physical causes of headaches, such as neck tension and postural imbalances.
- Comprehensive Assessment: We conduct a detailed, systematic evaluation to determine if your neck or posture contributes to your headaches. This assessment helps personalise a targeted treatment plan.
- Procedural Treatment: If neck issues are involved, a course of treatment is usually recommended to address the specific area, aiming to alleviate headache pain effectively.
Linking Headache Management with Posture Improvement
Poor posture doesn’t just cause back and neck pain—it can also contribute significantly to headaches. Desk jobs, prolonged screen use, and stress can lead to poor postural habits, straining the neck and shoulders. Physiotherapy can correct these issues, reducing the frequency and severity of headaches, and ongoing exercise programs can keep headaches/migraines better under control.
- Postural Awareness: Learn how to maintain correct posture during daily activities to minimise strain.
- Strengthening Exercises: We will encourage you to engage in exercises designed to support your spine and promote good posture, thereby reducing physical strain, tension and subsequently preventing headaches.
