Tension Headaches

Dull, pressing headache like a tight band? Tension headaches are often linked to the neck and stress – and can be treated in a targeted way.

Tension headaches are the most common form of headache. Typical is a dull, pressing pain, often bilateral, without the accompanying symptoms characteristic of migraine. Very often there are connections with tension in the neck and shoulder muscles, poor posture, and stress.

A dull, pressing pain, often like a tight band around the head. Usually bilateral, of mild to moderate intensity, without nausea. Frequently accompanied by neck and shoulder tension.

Muscular tension in the neck and shoulder area, poor posture (such as during screen work), stress, lack of sleep, and lack of movement.

We treat the muscular triggers in the neck and shoulder area with manual therapy and trigger point treatment. Through a movement analysis we identify posture-related causes, which we address with targeted evidence-based training; the neuroscience-based pain therapy helps with managing stress as a trigger.
