People often get headaches and after further investigation realise that they are a result of tension or stiffness in the neck. A clinical trial published in 2002 examined the effect of exercise and/or manual therapy on people with headaches arising from the neck.
It was found that exercise or manual therapy helped reduce headache frequency and intensity and these reductions were maintained over a 12 month period.
Those suffering from headaches should also look at their ergonomic set-up at work, their sitting and standing postures as well as general stress management.
