Osteopathy for headaches & neck pain

(AHPRA-registered practitioners)

When you see one of our Osteopaths, your session begins with a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis to determine what’s contributing to your symptoms.

Your Osteopath will:

  • Examine how your spine, jaw, and posture may be affecting muscle and nerve tension.
  • Provide a clear explanation of findings and contributing factors.
  • Develop a management plan that may include:
    • Gentle joint mobilisation or soft-tissue techniques
    • Stretching and movement prescription
    • Postural and ergonomic advice
    • Education on triggers and prevention strategies

Osteopathic care may assist with managing:

  • Tension-type headaches or neck-related headaches
  • Stiffness or reduced mobility through the cervical spine
  • Jaw-related or postural strain
  • Muscular tightness contributing to head and neck discomfort

This assessment → diagnosis → treatment → management structure helps you understand your condition, feel confident in your plan, and take control of your recovery.

Remedial Massage & Myotherapy for headaches & neck pain

Our Remedial Massage and Myotherapy sessions target issues that stem from tight, overworked muscles through the upper back, shoulders, and neck to relieve tension, ease discomfort, and improve mobility.

Therapists may use:

  • Deep-tissue and trigger-point release
  • Myofascial and stretching techniques
  • Targeted pressure through the shoulders, neck, and head

Clients often describe the treatment as a “good pain” — that satisfying release of tightness that helps you move more freely and feel clearer.

Massage and Myotherapy can be particularly helpful for:

  • Tension headaches
  • Postural strain or desk-related tightness
  • Training or stress-related muscle fatigue
  • Migraines (for easing post-migraine tension and reducing recurrence)

Your therapist will also guide you with simple take-home stretches and self-care strategies to keep your results lasting longer.

Common contributing factors

  • Poor posture or desk setup

  • Stress and muscle tension through shoulders or jaw

  • Eye strain and forward-head position

  • Reduced movement through the upper back and neck

  • Repetitive or asymmetrical work tasks

Our practitioners work together to identify which factors apply to you and create a plan that supports long-term improvement.
