If you’re waking up with headaches or feeling pressure at the back of your neck after a long day at the computer, your posture might be the cause.
At Dynamic Health Therapy in Keswick, we regularly treat patients who don’t realize that how they sit, stand, or sleep could be triggering their pain.
How Posture Affects Your Head
Poor posture—especially forward head posture and rounded shoulders—puts extra stress on your neck and upper back.
Over time, that stress can lead to:
- Tension-type headaches
- Neck stiffness
- Shoulder pain
- Jaw tightness
In many cases, the muscles around the base of the skull become overworked, leading to pain that radiates forward across the head.
Signs Your Headaches Might Be Posture-Related
- They get worse after sitting at a desk or looking at a screen
- You feel tightness in your neck or upper shoulders
- Stretching or changing positions brings some relief
- You slouch often without realizing it
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
At Dynamic Health Therapy, our physiotherapists assess your posture, movement patterns, and muscle imbalances.
We offer treatments like:
- Manual therapy to release tension
- Corrective exercises to improve posture
- Education on ergonomic setups for work and sleep
- Massage therapy and chiropractic care for added support
It’s not just about managing symptoms—it’s about fixing the root cause.
