Headache Physiotherapy Vancouver: In-Home Treatment for Postural and Tension Pain

Recurring headaches in Vancouver’s working population are more common than you might think. While migraines often get the spotlight, many people deal with tension, postural, or cervicogenic headaches that are directly related to poor posture and neck dysfunction.


At ĀLow Mobile Physio, we offer in-home headache physiotherapy throughout Vancouver—addressing the root cause so you can find lasting relief in the comfort of your own home.

Types of Headaches Treated with Physiotherapy


Tension Headaches

Typically felt as a dull, tight pressure across the forehead or behind the eyes. These are often linked to tightness in the neck, shoulders, or jaw.


Cervicogenic Headaches

Originating in the cervical spine, these headaches refer pain to one side of the head and can be confused with migraines.


Postural Headaches

Common in those who work at desks, slouch, or spend long hours on devices. These headaches are increasingly prevalent among people working from home in Vancouver.

How Poor Posture Contributes to Headaches

Headaches caused by posture typically develop when:

  • The head consistently leans forward relative to the shoulders

  • Neck joints are stiff or misaligned

  • Neck and upper back muscles become chronically tense

  • Core postural stabilizers like deep neck flexors or shoulder blade muscles are weak


These imbalances place strain on the neck, restrict circulation, and trigger referred pain patterns to the head.


In-Home Physiotherapy Treatment in Vancouver

Our mobile physiotherapy approach focuses on resolving the mechanical and muscular issues that contribute to headaches. Your care plan may include:

  • Manual therapy to reduce muscular tension in the neck and shoulders

  • Joint mobilizations to restore movement in the cervical spine

  • Postural retraining and ergonomic coaching based on your home or office setup

  • Strengthening exercises for stabilizing muscles like the deep neck flexors and scapular stabilizers

  • Breathing strategies to help manage physical and emotional tension


We also review your pillow, mattress, and work environment to help you identify postural stressors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
