I’m very pleased to have been able to help this lady, and that it made such a difference to her.

Migraines are complex and multifactorial, and often require medical management. Nobody has the cure, and it’s best to draw on all the help available to manage them and minimise their impact on you, as well as sometimes to investigate other more serious potential causes of symptoms.

However, migraines may also overlap with neck pain and other types of headache, such as tension headaches, or with TMD or jaw pain, and addressing these can often lead to a reduction in both frequency and severity of symptoms.

This may involve a combination of manual therapy and exercises aimed at reducing postural tensions around the upper back, shoulder girdle, neck and sometimes jaw, as well as advice on stress management, sleep and work habits, general exercise and a range of other lifestyle factors that may impact your headaches.

I had a great time learning about physical therapy to support singers and other voice artists with the brilliant Annie Strauch of Performance Medicine. A lot was also relevant to the patients I see.

People in pain often come wanting you to “fix” them, but it’s always important to give them self-management plans that empower them and help them reduce the risk of recurrence.

’s a partnership.

I like to do my best to make my approach patient centred - listening and adapting to patients’ preferences and what’s important to them, making decisions with them rather than for them, and taking into account their broader needs.

I’m glad I was able to achieve that here!
