Headaches can be more than just an annoyance; they can disrupt your work, social life, and daily activities. At Flowstate Physical Therapy, we take a comprehensive and hands-on approach to headache relief, identifying and treating the root causes rather than just managing symptoms.
Our specialized treatments help patients overcome chronic headaches, tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches by addressing musculoskeletal dysfunctions, postural imbalances, and other contributing factors. Through one-on-one care, we provide a customized plan to relieve pain and prevent future occurrences.
What Causes Your Headaches?
Headaches can stem from various sources, including:
- Postural Imbalances – Poor posture can strain the neck and upper back, leading to tension headaches.
- Muscle Tension & Joint Dysfunction – Stiffness in the cervical spine and tight muscles can contribute to chronic headaches.
- Neuromuscular Issues – Dysfunction in the nervous system can trigger or exacerbate headaches.
- Stress & Lifestyle Factors – Emotional stress, poor sleep, and diet can all play a role in headache frequency and severity.
Our physical therapists assess your movement patterns, joint mobility, muscle function, and lifestyle habits to create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Flowstate’s Approach to Headache Relief
At Flowstate Physical Therapy, we utilize evidence-based, hands-on techniques to help relieve headaches and improve your overall function. Our treatment plans may include:
Manual Therapy
Using hands-on techniques such as joint mobilization, myofascial release, and soft tissue work, we reduce muscle tension and improve mobility in the neck, shoulders, and upper back.
Dry Needling
This targeted approach releases trigger points and relieves muscular tension contributing to headaches, providing long-lasting relief.
Postural & Movement Retraining
Poor posture can be a significant factor in chronic headaches. We teach proper movement patterns and ergonomic corrections to reduce strain on the neck and upper back.
Therapeutic Exercise
Customized strengthening and stretching exercises improve cervical spine stability and prevent recurring headaches.

Our specialized techniques help restore proper muscle activation patterns, reducing strain and enhancing movement efficiency.
