Headaches and migraines can significantly impact quality of life, work, and sleep if not properly addressed. Our skilled physiotherapists are experienced in assessing, treating, and managing a wide range of headache types, including

• Cervicogenic (Neck-Related) Headaches
• Tension-type headaches
• Migraine-associated neck and shoulder tightness
• Postural and screen-related headaches

We develop personalized treatment plans based on a thorough assessment of your neck mobility, posture, and headache patterns.

Many headaches originate from restriction or tension in the upper neck, even when the pain is felt at the front of the head or behind the eyes. As part of our headache and migraine services, we:

• Assess your neck's mobility, posture, and muscle tension
• Identify patterns and triggers specific to your headaches
• Build a treatment plan to reduce both frequency and intensity

Our physiotherapists are proficient in treating a variety of headache presentations, ensuring that every patient receives tailored care. Some of the most common conditions we see at The Physio Studio Health and Wellness Center include:

• Cervicogenic Headaches

  Headaches originating from the neck, often felt at the base of the skull, temple, or behind the eyes.

• Tension Headaches

  Dull, band-like pain often linked to muscle tightness in the neck, shoulders, and jaw.

• Migraine-Related Neck Tension

  Neck and shoulder tightness that can act as a trigger or co-occur with migraine episodes.

• Postural Headaches

  Headaches that worsen with prolonged desk work, screen time, or poor ergonomics.

• Post-Concussion Headaches

  Headaches persisting after a head injury, often benefiting from combined concussion and neck-focused treatment.

We begin with a thorough assessment of your neck mobility, posture, and headache history. Based on this, we develop a treatment plan that may include:

• Manual therapy to restore upper neck mobility and reduce tension
• Individualized exercise prescription for postural strengthening
• Functional dry needling for tight, trigger-point-prone muscles
• Craniosacral therapy for gentle, whole-body tension relief
• Massage therapy to relieve neck, shoulder, and jaw tension

At The Physio Studio Health and Wellness Center, we offer direct billing to most extended health insurance providers, so there's no need for upfront payments in most cases.

Headache treatment often focuses only on symptom management, missing the mechanical contributors that physiotherapy can address. Our approach is designed to help you:

• Reduce headache frequency and intensity
• Improve neck mobility and posture
• Identify and manage personal headache triggers
• Reduce reliance on medication for symptom control
