Tension Headache Physio in Cronulla

How Physiotherapy Can Help?

Physiotherapy can reduce headache frequency and intensity by addressing the underlying musculoskeletal and lifestyle causes. Our programs may include:

• Neck and shoulder muscle release to reduce tension

• Posture correction and strengthening exercises

• Movement retraining for neck and upper back stability

• Stress management strategies to reduce trigger factors

• Advice on sleep, hydration, and ergonomic adjustments

​

For migraines, we work alongside your GP or specialist to support symptom management, improve comfort, and prevent recurring episodes.

​

Common Causes of Headaches & Migraines

Persistent headaches are often caused by musculoskeletal or lifestyle factors, including:

• Poor posture, especially neck and shoulder tension

• Stress and anxiety

• Whiplash or neck injuries from accidents

• Muscle weakness or imbalance

• Certain medications or dietary triggers

• Hormonal changes

• Dehydration, lack of sleep, or prolonged screen time

• Sensitivity to bright lights or loud noise

​

By identifying the root cause of your headaches and occasionally working closely with a neurologist, we can create a personalised treatment plan rather than relying on temporary pain relief like painkillers.

​​

​When to Seek Help?

• Headaches are severe, recurrent, or worsening

• Painkillers provide only temporary relief

• Headaches interfere with work, exercise, or daily activities

• You have neck, shoulder, or upper back tension alongside headaches

​​

Our physiotherapist conducts a detailed assessment to determine triggers, muscle imbalances, and postural factors contributing to your headaches.
