Targeted Treatment
Treatment is selected according to the assessment and whether musculoskeletal factors may be involved.
Neck Mobility
Appropriate mobility exercises may help address restricted neck movement and stiffness.
Active Rehabilitation
Strengthening and movement training may support longer-term management when appropriate.
Headache & Neck-Related Concerns
Concerns that may be assessed for physiotherapy
Not every headache is related to the neck or musculoskeletal system. Assessment helps determine whether physiotherapy is appropriate for your presentation.
Neck Stiffness
Restricted neck movement may contribute to discomfort and can be assessed as part of a broader physiotherapy evaluation.
Posture-Related Discomfort
Prolonged or sustained positions during desk work may be associated with neck and upper-body discomfort in some people.
Desk-Related Headache
People who spend long periods working at a computer may experience neck tension or headaches that require assessment.
Neck and Shoulder Tension
Muscle tension around the neck and shoulders may be assessed when it occurs alongside headache symptoms.
Movement-Related Headache Concerns
Headaches associated with particular neck movements or musculoskeletal symptoms may require detailed assessment.
Possible Contributing Factors
What may contribute to headache and neck discomfort?
Headaches can have many causes and physiotherapy is not appropriate for every type of headache. Where musculoskeletal factors are suspected, assessment can help guide treatment.
Treatment may focus on neck movement, strength, physical activity and other relevant functional factors where appropriate.
01
Prolonged Sitting
Long periods of sitting and limited movement may contribute to neck stiffness and muscle discomfort.
02
Sustained Positions
Maintaining the same head, neck or upper-body position for extended periods may increase discomfort.
03
Muscle Tension
Tension around the neck and shoulder region may accompany some headache presentations.
04
Reduced Physical Activity
Limited movement and reduced physical conditioning may affect neck and upper-body function.
