Headache Relief with indivudalized Physical Therapy

Recurring headaches can impact your work, sleep, and overall well-being. At Resilience Physical Therapy, we take a personalized, hands-on approach to treat the underlying causes of your pain—not just the symptoms. Whether your headaches are from tension, posture, or past injuries, we’re here to help you find lasting relief.

Why You May Be Experiencing Headaches

Headaches often stem from more than just stress. Physical factors—especially involving the neck, shoulders, or jaw—are common contributors. We regularly treat:

• Tension headaches

• Cervicogenic headaches (originating from the neck)

• TMJ-related pain

• Whiplash or neck injury

• Poor posture or tech neck

• Muscle tightness from stress

• Post-concussion symptoms

• Headaches following surgery

Not sure what’s causing yours? We’ll work with you to identify the source and develop a plan that fits your needs.

How Physical Therapy Helps Relieve Headaches

Our physical therapy approach focuses on addressing the root of your discomfort. Treatment may include:

• Manual therapy to reduce tightness and improve movement in the neck and jaw

• Dry needling to release muscle knots and relieve tension

• Stretching and strengthening exercises to improve posture and support the upper body

• Movement retraining to reduce daily strain and prevent flare-ups

• Education on managing stress, improving ergonomics, and adjusting routines

• A personalized home exercise program to support your recovery and prevent recurrence

This comprehensive care helps reduce headache intensity and frequency over time.
