Headache & Migraine Treatment in Centurion

Gentle, Integrative Physiotherapy at Integr8physio

If you are struggling with recurring headaches or migraines in Centurion, you know how disruptive they can be. Pain behind the eyes. Pressure at the base of the skull. Neck tightness that never truly resolves.

At Integr8physio in Centurion, Fransisca Swart provides personalised headache and migraine treatment grounded in physiotherapy and Craniosacral Therapy (CST). With more than 25 years of clinical experience, treatment focuses on identifying and relieving the underlying tension patterns contributing to your symptoms.

What Causes Headaches and Migraines?

Headaches are often not just “stress” or “bad posture.” They commonly involve a combination of:

• Neck and upper cervical tension

• Suboccipital muscle tightness

• Jaw clenching (TMJ dysfunction)

• Nervous system overload

• Postural strain

• Previous whiplash or injury

• Impaired lymphatic drainage at the base of the skull

Migraines may involve neurological sensitivity, but mechanical and tension-related triggers are frequently present.

A comprehensive physiotherapy assessment at Integr8physio in Centurion helps determine what is contributing to your specific headache pattern.

Our Approach to Headache Treatment in Centurion

At Integr8physio, headache and migraine treatment in Centurion may include:

Physiotherapy Techniques

Targeted release of tight neck and shoulder muscles, posture correction and mobility work.
These physiotherapy techniques reduce strain on the upper cervical spine and restore healthier movement patterns that often drive recurring tension headaches.

Craniosacral Therapy

Gentle techniques to release restrictions around the head, neck and cranial system. Craniosacral Therapy in Centurion is often helpful for patients with migraines, eye pressure and stress-related headaches.
By supporting improved fluid movement and reducing tension at the base of the skull, this approach may help decrease headache frequency and intensity.

TMJ and Jaw Support

If jaw tension contributes to your headaches, treatment addresses these patterns directly.
Releasing tightness in the jaw and surrounding structures can significantly reduce referred pain into the temples, forehead and upper neck.

Nervous System Regulation

Calming the stress response plays a key role in long-term headache relief.
Gentle manual therapy combined with breathing and regulation strategies can help settle sympathetic overactivity, which often amplifies migraine patterns.

Every treatment plan is personalised according to your symptoms, lifestyle and medical history.
