Understanding my Headaches

Why does my head hurt?

Your headache can hurt from neck strain, too much general tension or pressure, or migraines.

It’s our bodies strategy to get our attention to change something. Either get moving, or slow down for a bit, try a different posture regularly, and treat it nice.

How much pain we feel is dependant on individual circumstances which aren’t just always physical.

Stress, anxiety, our community of people and past experiences can all work to amplify or sustain pain states.

What can we do about it?

Jenkins Physiotherapy uses hands on manual therapy, exercises, dry needling, advice and ongoing recommendations to help your body recover.

This can involve making changes to the way you interact with your surrounds, eg workstation, family circumstances.

Making an assessment of how your headache is presenting, and if tightness or flexibility is restricting or not helping.

Being aware of your thoughts, previous experiences, and beliefs around the meaning of pain, and expectations.

How can I get started?
