    Selected area

    Head

    Common presentation
    Headache, pressure, or pain around the head that may occur with neck stiffness, sensitivity to light, nausea, or changes in normal activity.
    Possible contributors
    Head pain can be associated with tension, migraine, illness, injury, or pain referred from the neck. An individual assessment is needed to understand the pattern.
    How physiotherapy may help
    When symptoms are linked with neck movement or muscle and joint factors, physiotherapy may help through assessment, education, movement advice, and an individualized exercise plan.
    When to seek assessment
    Seek urgent medical help for a sudden extremely severe headache, headache after a serious injury, or headache with confusion, fainting, fever, new weakness, numbness, vision loss, or speech difficulty.

    This guide is educational and does not replace an individual assessment or medical diagnosis. If symptoms are severe, sudden, or concerning, seek appropriate medical care.
