6 Types of Physiotherapy Treatments to Cure Headaches

Manual Therapy

A professional manual therapist uses gentle but firm manual techniques aimed at restoring mobility of stiff upper neck joints. This involves moving or stretching to maintain appropriate mobility of the affected area.

Headache Exercises Many people suffer from neck headaches because the muscles that support their upper cervical joints and head are weak. An effective treatment plan for weak upper cervical joints should focus on strengthening the weak muscles to be able to absorb the stress.

Postural and Ergonomic Changes Due to people’s sedentary habits and lifestyles, sometimes headaches are caused by bad posture and inappropriate ergonomics. To treat this condition, your therapist will most likely suggest that you make minor changes to your seat and workstation.

Pain Modalities

If you suffer from cervicogenic headaches for too long, you might experience what is known as central sensitization. Your physiotherapist may apply gentle manual therapy on the affected area besides using other techniques aimed at desensitizing the affected area.

Practicing Relaxation Techniques Your physiotherapist may instruct you to practice relaxed breathing. Adopting the right posture can greatly relieve a headache, or at least distract you from its numbing pain. Whatever makes you relaxed and at ease, concentrate on it and visualize yourself at your calmest, peaceful state.

Postural Awareness Training

Knowing which muscles need activation to acquire the best posture can greatly reduce headaches. Your physiotherapist can correct your posture by using taping techniques to turn on specific muscles that will help you revert to the correct posture.
