Headaches Are a Pain in the Neck!

Free your Neck, Free your Head!

Headaches can literally be a pain in the neck!

Picture this. 

You finish a long day at work where you had to work over time to finish a project. 

You’re just about to relax with a warm meal your loved one was lovely enough to make for you and then it hits…

A dull, throbbing headache. You’ve been getting this every so often and it’s starting to annoy you.

While your story may be different, I think we can all agree on one thing.

Headaches are annoying.

Did you know that headaches can actually come from stiffness in the back and through your neck?

There are a bunch of nerves that travel from your back and into your neck, eventually reaching the back and front of your head.

If the muscles/bones around the nerves have stiffened up, the nerves start to complain.

When the nerves start to complain, you start to complain about your headache to your poor loved one who listens to all your complaints.

Try stretching out your neck with these super simple exercises:?

If you're on Medicare and finding that neck pain is still holding you back after a couple of weeks, visit your GP and they'll recommend the best course of action for you which will normally be a referral onward to a Physiotherapist, such as Align Motion Physio.

If you're on a private healthcare plan, have a read of our page on neck pain treatment and book in to have a consultation with a specialist Physiotherapist today.

I was in an urgent search for a massage therapist after experiencing severe back pains when i came across Align Motion Physio. Even after calling in last minute, matt the massage therapist made the time to fit me in his schedule for the next day! ...

Visited today at the Westmead clinic (think they have 3) it's in such a great place and super conveniently located. Free underground carpark and easy access. The clinic is very nice and unlike other clinics this place has a great aesthetic. The physio Varun was amazing, super friendly and gave me a good analysis of my shoulder injury. Told me to what I had to do to rehab and said within 3-5 treatments I should be well on the way to recovery. What I really appreciated was that unlike other physios he didn't rush the session and took his time to get to know about how I got injured and my needs, then advised me on how to prevent it in the future.

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Matt at Alignmotion for my neck pain. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming feeling by the staff which instantly made me feel comfortable. Matt was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and his expertise truly shined through during my massage session for my terrible neck pain I've been experiencing for weeks. He was able to pinpoint the source of my neck pain and provided targeted relief that made a world of difference. I left feeling rejuvenated and like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I highly recommend Matt and Alignmotion for anyone looking for effective and welcoming treatment for their aches and pains.

I recently had the privilege of being treated by an outstanding young physiotherapist, Viddhi Nakarani. Viddhi demonstrated a level of expertise that made a significant impact on my recovery. She was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly compassionate, creating a positive and supportive rehab environment. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional care from a rising star in the field.

Great place for rehab and therapy, the clinicians were very experienced and knowledgeable. They were able to find what was wrong and make a plan that I could utilise at home as well.
