Headache

Types of Headaches We Help Manage
Different types of headaches can present with different symptoms and may require different treatment approaches. At PhysioON, we assess and treat several types of headaches, including tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and headaches associated with concussion.
Tension Headaches
Tension headaches may be associated with tight or overworked muscles around the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Stress, prolonged sitting, poor movement habits, and muscle tension may contribute to symptoms. Physiotherapy for tension headaches may include manual therapy, mobility exercises, postural guidance, relaxation strategies, and targeted strengthening.
Cervicogenic Headaches
Cervicogenic headaches originate from structures in the neck and may be associated with neck stiffness, restricted movement, or muscular problems. Physiotherapy for cervicogenic headaches focuses on assessing the neck and surrounding structures and may include manual therapy, mobility exercises, strengthening, and movement retraining.
Concussion-Related Headaches
Headaches can also occur following a concussion and may be accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, visual difficulties, or sensitivity to light and sound. A physiotherapy assessment can help identify contributing factors and guide an individualized rehabilitation program.
Migraine
Migraines can involve more than just head pain and may be accompanied by nausea or sensitivity to light and sound. Although migraines can have several contributing factors, physiotherapy may be appropriate for some individuals as part of a broader management plan. Physiotherapy for migraine may focus on addressing musculoskeletal factors, movement limitations, and neck-related symptoms where relevant.
