Non-business related post, but I got to fulfill a long time dream of taking an introductory flight lesson this weekend for my 40th birthday! It was such a wonderful surprise from my wife ! My grandfather was an air traffic controller so I’ve always had a love of flight and it was surreal to experience what a plane feels like through the yoke!

The Migraine + Exercise Dilemma: What Every Trainer Should Know

Research shows that regular exercise can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines—but many people living with migraines report that workouts actually trigger their symptoms. So how should trainers and coaches approach this?

This free, expert-led workshop is designed for fitness professionals who want clear, practical guidance on navigating this common and complex issue.

Led by Dr. Corey Hillman, a physical therapist who specializes in headache and migraine care, you’ll learn how to:

Understand the neurological foundations of migraine
Balance the benefits of movement with the risk of flare-ups
Identify common red flags and triggers during training
Modify workouts to support recovery, regulation, and long-term resilience

If you’ve ever felt unsure how to safely and effectively train a client with migraines, this session is for you. Walk away with confidence, clarity, and a better understanding of how to be a trusted resource for clients managing chronic headaches.

Migraine has a lot of stigma around it. As an invisible illness co-workers, friends/family and even health care providers can Miss understand the complexity of this condition. As we learn more about migraine from research we see all the ways it can affect one’s life.

Is there a real link between migraine and POTS?
Yes—and it’s stronger than most people realize. A recent study in Headache found migraine is far more common in people with POTS, especially women. The shared factor? Autonomic nervous system dysregulation. At Gate City Physio, we see this combo often and help patients manage both through a nervous system-informed, hands-on approach.

If you’ve been struggling with migraines, dizziness, or unexplained fatigue—schedule a free 15-minute consult with Dr. Hillman to see if there’s a deeper connection.

If you’re constantly avoiding migraine triggers—foods, lights, stress, smells—you’re not alone. But what if there was a better way?

At Gate City Physio , we take a resilience-based approach to migraine care. Instead of focusing solely on trigger avoidance, we help you build a stronger foundation—what we call a “bigger bucket”—so your body can handle more without tipping into pain.

Migraines are a threshold disorder. That means your brain responds to accumulated input—not just one single trigger. The key to long-term relief isn’t strict avoidance… it’s improving your threshold.

We specialize in helping people with chronic migraines, tension headaches, and TMJ-related pain right here in Greensboro. Our holistic, hands-on care supports your nervous system and helps you reclaim your life.

Let’s build your resilience—so you can stop tiptoeing around triggers and start living.
