There are certain types of headaches that can be treated by physiotherapy. Joint stiffness in the neck, and tension in the upper back as well as in the sub-occipital muscles located at the back of the neck and just below the skull can provoke headaches. The treatment regimen consists of manual therapy (joint mobilizations) and specific exercises. If, however, you are experiencing intense and unrelenting headaches, it is strongly recommended that you consult a doctor.
