Migraines are more than just headaches — they are debilitating neurological events that can severely impact daily life. While medication is often a first line of defense, many people don't realize that physiotherapy can play a powerful role in migraine management.
At Pitt Meadows Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic, we offer specialized care to help patients reduce migraine frequency, manage symptoms, and improve their overall quality of life.
How Can Physiotherapy Help with Migraines?
Migraines are often triggered or worsened by musculoskeletal issues like:
Neck stiffness or cervical spine dysfunction
Poor posture (especially from long hours at desks or screens)
Muscle tension in the shoulders, neck, and upper back
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems
Stress and poor breathing mechanics
Physiotherapists are trained to identify these underlying physical causes and create customized treatment plans that address them directly — helping to reduce both the intensity and frequency of migraines.
Key Physiotherapy Techniques for Migraine Relief
At Pitt Meadows Physio, we use several evidence-based approaches for migraine management, including:
1. Manual Therapy
Gentle hands-on techniques are used to mobilize stiff joints in the neck, upper back, and jaw. Restoring proper mobility can ease pressure on nerves and blood vessels, helping to prevent migraines.
2. Posture Correction and Ergonomic Advice
Poor posture is a major migraine trigger. Our physiotherapists educate patients on correct posture habits and recommend ergonomic adjustments for workstations and daily activities.
3. Soft Tissue Release
Tight muscles around the neck and shoulders can compress nerves and contribute to migraine pain. Deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy help reduce this tension.
4. Exercise Therapy
Targeted exercises are prescribed to strengthen postural muscles, improve flexibility, and restore balance. Movement retraining can help decrease the frequency of migraine episodes over time.
5. Relaxation and Breathing Techniques
Since stress is a common migraine trigger, we also teach relaxation strategies and breathing exercises to reduce physical and mental tension.
