Neck pain & cervicogenic headaches
Prevalence · Most common in desk workers 30+
Tension that creeps up the back of the skull, behind the eye, and lingers for days. Highly responsive to manual therapy.
Typical course of care
4 – 6 sessions over 3 – 4 weeks
Most patients see meaningful change inside the first three sessions. We re-test two markers every visit and adjust the plan in writing.
Common at the clinic
Roughly one in eight assessments at Holistic Physio is for a case like neck pain & cervicogenic headaches.
Signs we look for
- Headache starting at the base of the skull
- Stiff neck on rotation
- Pain reproduced by pressing the upper neck

How we treat it
Cervical mobilisation (Mulligan SNAGs), deep neck flexor retraining, and a desk-set-up audit. Most patients feel meaningful change inside three sessions.
We measure baseline range, strength, and one functional task at the first visit, then re-test two of the three markers every session after.
