Tension headaches are one of the most common types of headaches that adults suffer from, and they can greatly impact daily life. That's why at Premier Therapy, we focus on addressing the underlying causes of these headaches, such as neck and jaw problems, poor posture, and stress. Through our physical therapy sessions, we work to reduce the tension in muscles and alleviate pressure on the nerves of the head and face. By working together, we can help our clients resume their daily living activities with fewer headaches and less pain.

Physical Therapy is a great solution to help alleviate your headaches. You may have muscles that are tight or weak and our physical therapist can develop a program that strengthens and relaxes important muscles that frequently cause tension. When the muscles of your neck and surrounding areas are stretched and relaxed there is less of a chance that you will experience headache pain. Physical therapists are also able to help you improve your posture.  Just a few slight adjustments in the way you hold yourself can make a big difference in reducing your headaches. 

 

By following a simple maintenance program after you have completed the recommended course of treatment you can help yourself to remain pain free in the future.
