Headaches can significantly impact daily life, affecting productivity, mood, and overall well-being. While headaches can have various causes, including stress, dehydration, or underlying medical conditions, musculoskeletal factors such as neck tension and poor posture can also contribute to headache symptoms. Physical therapy offers effective strategies for managing headaches by addressing these underlying musculoskeletal issues.

At UCC Physio, our Practitioners conduct a thorough evaluation to identify contributing factors such as muscle tension, joint dysfunction, or poor posture. Based on this assessment, individualized treatment plans are developed to target specific areas of concern and alleviate headache symptoms. Treatment may include a combination of manual therapy techniques, such as soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilizations, to reduce muscle tension and improve joint mobility. Therapeutic exercises to strengthen weak muscles, improve posture, and promote proper alignment are also commonly prescribed.
