Research continues to emerge and build showing the superior efficacy of this approach to treating headaches versus other passive treatments, or either manual therapy or exercise alone. If you're having headaches though, be sure to see your doctor or physical therapist first, because headaches can be caused by many things. Your doctor and PT can help you determine what the best course of treatment will be for you.
Enjoy the awesome weather today!
