Top Tip to Help Prevent Tension Headaches

Tension headaches are one of the most common types of headaches we see in clinic. They often creep in after long hours at a desk, stress, poor posture or tightness in the neck and shoulders. Many people describe them as a dull, pressure like ache that just will not go away.

In this short video, Ben Palmer explains a simple tip that may help ease or even prevent tension headaches.

Before he shares the exercise, he talks about what actually causes these headaches and why everyday habits can play such a big role. Understanding the “why” often makes it much easier to manage symptoms.

If you deal with frequent headaches and are looking for something practical to try at home, this is a helpful place to start.
