Headaches / Migraines

Headaches and migraines can often be influenced by factors such as neck stiffness, muscle tension, posture, stress, and reduced movement. At Illawarra Rehabilitation Clinic, our Physiotherapists assess the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms and develop personalised treatment plans aimed at reducing the frequency, intensity, and impact of headaches and migraines.

Treatment may include hands-on physiotherapy, posture correction, movement retraining, exercise therapy, and education to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Many headaches can originate from structures in the neck, upper back, and surrounding muscles. We may help by reducing muscle tension, improve joint mobility, address postural issues, and improve movement patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms.

At our Warilla clinic, treatment is tailored to your individual presentation and may include manual therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and strategies to help prevent recurring headaches and migraines.

Treatment may benefit people experiencing recurring headaches, tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, neck-related headaches, migraines, or headaches associated with poor posture and muscle tension.

At Illawarra Rehabilitation Clinic, our Physiotherapists have extensive experience assessing and treating neck and spinal conditions that may contribute to headaches. We help patients throughout Warilla, Shellharbour, Wollongong, and the Illawarra reduce pain, improve movement, and return to their normal daily activities with greater confidence and comfort.
