Get relief with REP Physio!
Headaches are a common complaint we see at physiotherapy. Headaches can be caused by tension, cervicogenic, stress, hypertension, sinus, migraines, hormone, cluster, allergy etc. Tension-type headaches (TTH) are based on a patient’s description of the headache and the location. Tension-type headaches usually have mild to moderate symptoms and are not accompanied by nausea or vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, and/or neurological symptoms. 1
Patients with Tension-type headaches have an increased number of myofascial trigger points in muscles of the head, neck and shoulders. The location of the tension-type headache can lead us to the muscles at fault and thus tell us how to reduce the tension and headache symptoms. Common tension-type headache locations and their corresponding muscle group are listed below.2 Stop living with tension headaches. Let our team at REP Physio help you!
