Headaches
Headaches can interfere with work, exercise, and daily life, but physiotherapy can help. At City South Physio, we address underlying causes such as neck tension, posture, or spinal stiffness. With hands-on treatment, targeted exercises, and practical advice, we’ll relieve pain, reduce recurrence, and help you get back to feeling your best.
Physio-Related Headaches
Headaches can be more than just a nuisance — they can disrupt your work, exercise, and daily life. At City South Physio, we understand that many headaches are linked to neck and shoulder tension, poor posture, or stiffness in the joints of the upper spine. The good news is that physiotherapy can make a real difference.
Our physiotherapists will take the time to assess the underlying cause of your headaches, whether they’re tension-related, posture-driven, or triggered by stress and tight muscles. Treatment may include gentle hands-on therapy, massage, joint mobilisation, or dry needling to relieve pressure and ease muscle tension.
We’ll also guide you through exercises that strengthen and support your neck and upper back, helping to prevent your headaches from coming back. Education on posture, ergonomics, and lifestyle factors forms an important part of your care, so you have practical tools to manage your symptoms outside the clinic.
Whether you experience headaches occasionally or they’ve become a regular part of life, we’ll help you find relief and regain control. With the right treatment, many of our patients see lasting improvements and can get back to living without the constant distraction of pain.
