Headaches
Headache Treatment in Perth
A significant proportion of headache sufferers are told to manage with medication long-term, without anyone investigating the underlying cause. Many headaches — particularly cervicogenic and tension-type headaches — originate from the joints, muscles, and neural structures of the cervical spine, and respond very well to physiotherapy when the source is correctly identified.
Our assessment identifies the type of headache you are experiencing, distinguishes musculoskeletal headache from migraine and other headache types, and screens for any features that warrant medical referral. In most cases we can reach a clear working diagnosis and begin treatment without imaging. When imaging is needed, we can refer you directly for X-ray or MRI without requiring a GP visit first.
Treatment is directed at the source — typically a combination of hands-on work to the upper cervical spine and strengthening the muscles that support it. Many people see meaningful reduction in headache frequency and intensity with the right management.
We see headache patients across our four Perth clinics: Beeliar, Booragoon, East Fremantle, and Jandakot. No referral is needed to book.
Technology-Based
Injury Assessment
Included gap-free with every initial assessment.
Move Physiotherapy uses VALD force measurement technology — the same systems used by AFL, NRL and Olympic programs — to objectively measure your strength, symmetry and recovery. This means your physiotherapist can track your progress with clinical precision, making data-driven decisions at every stage of your rehabilitation rather than relying on subjective estimates.
Weakness and poor endurance in the deep neck stabilisers is a consistent finding in people with cervicogenic and tension-type headache. VALD testing lets us measure these deficits objectively and track how they respond to treatment — giving both you and your physiotherapist real data rather than guesswork.
