Headache/ Migraine

What we do

Yoga

Yoga and physiotherapy can play significant roles in treating migraines by addressing both physical and mental aspects of the condition. Migraines are often triggered or exacerbated by stress. Yoga, with its focus on breath control (pranayama) and mindfulness, helps reduce stress levels. Practices like meditation and relaxation techniques in yoga can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and alleviating stress. Certain yoga poses and sequences promote better blood circulation, which can be beneficial for individuals prone to migraines. Inverted poses, such as legs-up-the-wall pose, improve blood flow to the brain, potentially reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines. Yoga involves stretching and strengthening exercises that can release tension in the muscles, particularly in the neck and shoulders, which are common areas of tension for migraine sufferers. Regular practice can contribute to overall muscle relaxation, minimizing the impact of muscle-related triggers. Yoga encourages self-awareness and mindfulness, helping individuals identify potential triggers and early signs of migraines. Consistent practice can enhance overall well-being and resilience, potentially reducing the likelihood of migraine attacks.

Physiotherapy:
