Migraine relief<br />
Your headache or migraine may literally be a pain in the neck<br />
It’s not very well known that almost 13<br />
percent of people – including childrensuffer<br />
from headaches and migraines.<br />
It is the 3rd most prevalent illness in<br />
the world and causes 91 percent of the<br />
people it affects to miss work or reduce<br />
their functional capacity. In the past 10<br />
years, the understanding of what causes<br />
headaches and migraines has significantly<br />
changed. The research now shows that<br />
the sensitisation of the brain stem in<br />
your neck is what causes this pain; and<br />
the specially trained physiotherapists at<br />
Muscle People are well versed in how to<br />
treat it.<br />
Krissy Winter, a patient of Muscle<br />
People, had this to say about her<br />
experience: “My migraines were<br />
debilitating and they’d often come without<br />
warning. Sometimes once a week, but<br />
generally about once a month. I’d moved<br />
up from Dunedin where I’d managed them<br />
with my Osteopath, yoga and Pilates. In<br />
Christchurch I was so reluctant to let<br />
anyone near my neck. I read the article<br />
and I must admit I wasn’t convinced and I<br />
went to the first appointment with a page<br />
of all the concerns I had. The first time I<br />
met Laurie I remember walking out and<br />
feeling more in control. After about four<br />
treatments with Laurie and perfecting the<br />
technique she taught me I truly began to<br />
reap the benefits. Now I’m fantastic. If I<br />
feel a migraine coming on I now have the<br />
control to manage it myself, even stopping<br />
them from taking over, without needing<br />
someone to drive me in to the osteopath<br />
or the hospital for an injection to relieve<br />
the pain. With the technique Laurie<br />
taught me I’m armed and dangerous!”<br />
Laurie, Clare and Naomi were trained<br />
in Australia in the award winning and<br />
ground breaking Watson Approach to<br />
dealing with headaches and migraines.<br />
This proven method examines and treats<br />
the movements of the first three segments<br />
of the neck, which when sensitised cause<br />
headaches and migraines.<br />
“In our clinics we see people from<br />
as far away as Invercargill who come<br />
to us specially to seek treatment” says<br />
Laurie Moore, Director of Muscle People<br />
Physiotherapy. She says “The symposium<br />
in Australia we went to just recently<br />
reaffirmed the effectiveness of what we<br />
do, and honed our skills even more.”<br />
Generally patients will come to our<br />
clinic four or five times in the first few<br />
weeks of treatment. We show them some<br />
very simple exercises to do at home. After<br />
the first few weeks, treatment sessions are<br />
guided by how the patient is feeling.<br />
“Often patients come to us at the end<br />
of a long journey having tried quite a few<br />
other treatments, and we are able to help<br />
them reduce or remove their pain.” Laurie<br />
says.<br />
