Tension & neck headaches

Many headaches are linked to tension or problems in the neck (cervicogenic headaches). When that's the driver, physio can often make a real difference.

Common symptoms

• Headaches that start in the neck or base of the skull
• A tight, band-like pressure around the head
• Headaches that worsen with desk work or stress
• Neck stiffness alongside the headache

• Assessment to work out whether your neck is contributing

• Hands-on treatment and exercises for the neck and surrounding muscles
