💆♀️ Tension-Type Headaches Explained 💆♂️
Do you often feel a tight band-like pressure around your head?
You might be experiencing a tension-type headache, one of the most common (and misdiagnosed) headache types.
✨ According to the Watson Headache® Approach, the neck can play a big role. Dysfunction in the upper cervical spine can “switch on” headache symptoms by sensitising the brainstem.
✅ The good news? With gentle, precise techniques—not manipulation—we can assess and treat the neck to reduce sensitisation and ease headaches.

👉 Maintain good posture (avoid forward head)
👉 Manage stress & practice relaxation
👉 Gentle mobility exercises for the upper neck
