By this point in February, patterns are set.
✨ Sleep timing has shifted.
✨ Screen time has increased.
✨ Posture has become more sustained.
And then the headaches start. 😔
The upper cervical spine shares neural pathways with the trigeminal system: the primary sensory pathway for the head and face. When load stays elevated, those shared pathways can become sensitised.
That’s why neck tension and head pain so often rise together this time of year.
Before blaming your pillow or your stress levels, look at your inputs.
Load changes require regulation changes.
What’s been drifting for you lately? ☺️💚
