Headache Treatments
We treat headaches by addressing muscular tension, postural imbalances, and movement dysfunction — helping you find lasting relief without medication.
What Is it?
Physical therapy for headaches addresses the musculoskeletal drivers of tension and pain. We assess posture, neck mobility, muscle tension, and nerve involvement to create a treatment plan that reduces symptoms and prevents recurrence. This often includes manual therapy, postural retraining, and guided exercises to relieve head and neck tension naturally.
Our Approach
Our approach to headache treatment begins with a detailed evaluation of posture, neck mobility, muscle tension, and contributing habits. We combine manual therapy, movement retraining, and education to reduce the frequency and severity of headaches. You’ll leave with tools to prevent symptoms — not just treat them when they show up.
