Understanding Headaches
Could Your Neck Be Causing Your Headache?

Pain intensified by neck movement or prolonged sitting
Headaches occurring consistently on one side
Relief when pressure is applied to the base of the skull
Persistent headaches even after other causes have been ruled out by a doctor
Comprehensive Assessment of Headaches
At Core Physiotherapy and Pilates Studio, our headache assessment begins with a detailed discussion about the nature and origin of your symptoms. Through this subjective examination, we gather information to identify specific joints that may be contributing to the headache. This is followed by a physical examination, where the physiotherapist evaluates both general neck movement and upper neck joint motion to clarify which tissues are primarily involved.
Our assessment process allows us to form a tailored approach to managing each unique case of neck-related headaches, assessing symptom changes throughout and after each session.

Seeking Long-Term Headache Relief?
Headaches originating from the neck can often benefit from a structured physiotherapy approach that addresses posture, ergonomics, and joint function. If you’re experiencing persistent headaches, a physiotherapist can be an integral part of your care team, working alongside other healthcare providers to optimise results.
Note: While physiotherapy can aid in managing certain types of headaches, it’s essential for individuals with severe or sudden-onset headaches to seek immediate medical evaluation to rule out underlying health conditions.
