suffering from headaches?
Relieving tension, restoring movement, and helping you feel clearer and more in control
Headaches can be incredibly disruptive. Whether they creep in slowly or hit like a wave, they can affect your focus, energy, and quality of life. For many people, they’re not just occasional—they’re a regular part of the week.
At Adams Osteopathy, we help people manage and reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches, especially those linked to tension, posture, and neck problems. If your headaches often come with tight shoulders, a stiff neck, or long hours at a desk, there’s a good chance we can help.
Could Your Headaches Be Musculoskeletal?
Not all headaches are the same, and the causes can vary. The type we most often help with are known as tension-type headaches and cervicogenic headaches (headaches that originate from the neck).
Common causes of headaches:
Poor posture—especially from prolonged sitting or screen use
Muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, or jaw
Stiff joints in the upper spine
Stress and emotional tension
Previous injuries (such as whiplash or long-term neck pain)
If your headaches tend to start at the base of the skull or feel like a band of pressure around the head, they may be linked to tension or restriction in the muscles and joints of the neck.
How we can help
At Adams Osteopathy, we take a gentle, hands-on approach to treating headaches related to musculoskeletal tension. By improving mobility in the neck and upper back, releasing tight muscles, and helping you address any contributing habits, we aim to reduce both the symptoms and the underlying causes.
Treatment is tailored to what your body needs and may include:
Soft tissue techniques to ease tension in the neck and shoulders
Gentle joint mobilisation in the spine
Postural assessment and advice
Breathing and stress management strategies
Simple exercises to support long-term relief
It’s a calm, considered approach—tailored to your comfort and specific needs.
What to Expect in a session
Your first session includes
Examine your posture, movement, and neck function
Identify any muscular tension or joint restriction
Begin hands-on treatment (where appropriate) in your first session
Offer practical advice you can take away and use day to day
Our goal is to help you feel clearer, more comfortable, and more in control of your symptoms, without relying solely on medication.
Long-Term Relief and Prevention
It’s not just about easing the next headache—it’s about preventing the next one altogether.
Supporting better posture and movement habits
Improving the strength and flexibility of the neck and shoulders
Reducing daily stress and tension
Building awareness of your triggers and how to manage them
Often, it’s the small things—how you sit, how you move, how you unwind—that make the biggest difference over time.
