How we treat it
We assess whether your headache has a neck-related component and, where it does, treat with hands-on techniques, exercise and posture advice. Headaches are one of Vincent's specialised-interest areas.
“We don't just label the symptom. We find what's actually driving your pain — then build a plan around it.”
