When headaches keep coming back, it helps to have somewhere to go that will actually assess what is behind them. At MyoFitness in Surry Hills, North Melbourne and Yarraville, our allied health team offers a structured, hands-on approach to headache: a proper assessment, treatment of the neck and muscular drivers, and a plan you can follow to reduce how often headaches strike.
We are an allied health headache clinic, not a medical one, so our focus is the physical and muscular contributors to headache. Where a headache needs medical input, we say so and help you get it.
What the research says: Evidence supports a physical, assessment-led approach to headache. Reviews of manual and exercise therapy for cervicogenic headache report reductions in headache intensity, frequency and disability, and trials of dry needling for tension-type headache show reduced headache frequency and intensity. Careful assessment helps match the right treatment to the right headache.
Looking for a headache clinic near you? Book an assessment at our North Melbourne or Yarraville clinic and we will get to the bottom of what is driving your headaches.
A sudden, severe headache or headache with weakness, vision changes, confusion or after a head injury needs urgent medical attention.
We treat the physical and muscular contributors to headache and coordinate with your GP where needed.
A new or changing headache pattern, or headache with fever, should be assessed by a doctor first.
If your headaches are outside what hands-on care can help, we will tell you and point you in the right direction.
Our practitioners assess and treat physical and muscular factors that may contribute to certain headaches. We are not medical headache specialists and will recommend medical assessment when appropriate.
We can work alongside your GP or other healthcare professionals when needed, helping ensure any physiotherapy treatment fits appropriately within your broader headache care plan.
