Not all headaches come from the head. Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches often originate in the neck and upper back and respond extremely well to physiotherapy that addresses these underlying structures.
Common causes
- Cervicogenic headache (neck-related)
- Tension-type headache
- Poor posture and prolonged screen use
- Jaw (TMJ) dysfunction
- Stress and muscle tension
- Whiplash or neck injury
How we treat it
- Cervical joint mobilisation and manipulation
- Soft tissue release of neck and shoulder muscles
- Deep neck flexor strengthening
- Postural retraining and ergonomic advice
- Trigger point therapy
- Relaxation and breathing techniques
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my headaches are cervicogenic?
Cervicogenic headaches typically start at the base of the skull or neck and radiate forward. They're often one-sided, worse with sustained postures, and may improve briefly with neck movement. A physiotherapy assessment can help determine the source.
Can physio help with migraines?
Physiotherapy can help with migraine triggers related to the neck and jaw, and may reduce frequency in some patients. For primary migraines, we work alongside your GP or neurologist.
How many sessions does it take to see improvement?
Many patients with cervicogenic headaches see meaningful improvement within 3–6 sessions. We'll give you a realistic timeframe at your first appointment.
