Exercises you can do to prevent and manage headaches from the neck: - Correct your posture: try to avoid slouching - Chin tuck: use your hand to gently press your chin straight back, hold it for a few seconds and then release (image it as a filing cabinet, going straight back and not wonky off to one side) - Ear to shoulder: gently tilt your head side to side, 3/4 each way These exercises should make the pain ease in your head. It is okay if your neck is still a bit sore. However, if it is getting worse in your head, you need to stop and talk to your Physio about this. Please don't hesitate to get in contact with us for more information or to book a consultation.

As mentioned in Part 1, cervicogenic headaches (headaches from the neck) make up a large proportion of all headaches. Some simple steps you can take at home to prevent / manage these headaches: - Be mindful of your posture: don’t have your chin sticking out - Have your TV straight ahead of your lounge if possible: this avoids your neck sitting at an angle - Get up every 30mins from sitting: whether this be watching tv or at a desk working Book now: https://www.tablelandsphysio.com.au / Ph: 6362 3131 #tablelandsphysio #lithgow #headaches #neck #australia #managingheadaches #reducingheadaches |
