Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a physiotherapist about headaches?
If headaches persists for more than 2 weeks, limits your daily activity, or worsens with movement, it's worth having a professional assessment. A physiotherapist can identify the underlying cause and begin the right treatment early — before the problem becomes chronic.
What are the most common musculoskeletal causes of headaches?
Headaches can result from injury, overuse, inflammation, nerve irritation, or joint degeneration. A thorough physiotherapy assessment identifies the specific source so treatment targets the root cause rather than just suppressing the symptom.
Can physiotherapy resolve headaches without medication?
In most cases, yes. Physiotherapy addresses the root cause of headaches through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education. Most patients see meaningful improvement within 4–8 weeks of a structured programme.
