Physiotherapy and the Mulligan Concept in Headache Management

Physiotherapy and the Mulligan Concept in Headache Management

Do you experience headaches associated with neck stiffness or poor posture? Does turning your neck trigger or worsen your headache? Do you feel tightness in the upper neck and shoulders during long hours of desk work? The Mulligan concept may help reduce headache-related neck dysfunction.

Many headaches, especially cervicogenic headaches, are linked to restricted movement and stiffness in the upper cervical spine. Poor posture, prolonged screen use, stress, and muscle tightness can irritate joints and surrounding tissues, leading to recurring headaches.

The Mulligan concept uses gentle mobilization techniques combined with active movement to restore pain-free neck motion. Techniques like SNAGs (Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides) help improve joint mechanics, reduce stiffness, and decrease headache intensity.

Treatment focuses on: Mulligan SNAG techniques for the cervical spine Reducing neck stiffness and muscle tension Improving posture and ergonomic habits Strengthening deep neck stabilising muscles Restoring comfortable neck movement

Maintain upright posture, avoid prolonged screen time without breaks, stretch neck and shoulder muscles regularly, stay hydrated, and manage stress levels.

Dr. Deepika Bansal – Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar provides personalised physiotherapy using the Mulligan concept, helping reduce headaches and restore comfortable neck function.
