Headaches?

We’re here to support you.

A holistic approach to headaches focuses on understanding possible contributing factors, not just managing symptoms.

Headaches, like many symptoms, can be influenced by a range of factors including postural tension, stress, nutrition, lifestyle, and structural or muscular patterns. Identifying what may be contributing for you can help guide an appropriate care plan.

Look at the whole picture

One of the strengths of a holistic approach is considering the broader context of your health. We aim to look at factors such as stress levels, posture, movement patterns, lifestyle habits and overall wellbeing.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we tailor care to your individual circumstances. Our goal is to support your body’s natural capacity for balance and wellbeing.

Ongoing Support

As part of your care, we may provide guidance around self-care strategies and lifestyle considerations that may assist in reducing the frequency or intensity of headaches.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers pain to be caused by the lack of free flow of qi and/or blood. To put it simply, when the qi and blood move freely, there is no pain. Unfortunately, the flow of qi and blood can become inhibited at any and every area of the body. The internal organs, joints and ligaments, muscles can all be affected by qi and blood stagnation. What causes the stagnation?

What if pain was our Friend?

Research has shown that there are no pain receptors in the body only receptors/nociceptors that detect unpleasant stimuli. The unpleasant impulses get sent to the brain areas for processing and it is the brain that determines if you will feel pain or if you do not. The amount of pain we feel is always real to us – I am NOT suggesting it is imagined in any way – but the intensity of pain experienced is NOT dependent upon the amount of damage or problems in the body’s structures. There are countless stories of people who have had no pain when they have suffered a severe injury or conversely people who have experienced horrendous pain with no known cause. There is the famous story of the man who shot a nail through his foot and was brought to hospital in agony only for the hospital staff to remove his boot to discover the nail had gone between his toes. Lorimer Moseley a leading pain researcher has written an interesting book about it called, ‘Painful Yarns: Metaphors & Stories to Help Understand the Biology of Pain.’

Pain has also shown to be influenced by the context it is viewed in
