Tension headache - when the head is under pressure

How physiotherapy and occupational therapy can provide lasting help

Dull pressure, pulling pain from the neck to the forehead, the feeling of a tight belt around the head - tension headaches are one of the most common forms of pain. They often start insidiously, are distressing but rarely alarming - and are therefore often underestimated. However, there is often more to tension headaches than just a tense neck. The good news is that with targeted physiotherapy, occupational therapy support and a holistic approach, the symptoms can be effectively alleviated and the frequency significantly reduced.
