Headaches
Tension/Cervicogenic headaches
Tension headaches according to the NHS are the most common headache that is experienced by teenagers and adults. These headaches begin when the muscles around the top of the back/shoulder and into the he neck tighten up and where they attach onto the base of your skull causes a pull, which in turn gives you the head pain. Similarly, the muscles around the jaw can also do this. So tension headaches can be caused by jaw clenching and teeth grinding.

Ame C2024-03-23I see Holly for a regular osteopathy session, she’s brilliant and very knowledgable. I always come away feeling a big difference in my body/ back after a session. I would highly recommend her!Becca Grubb2024-02-07We took our newborn daughter for several cranial osteopathy sessions with Dan and highly recommend. The treatment is very gentle but very effective, our daughter had some tension and tightness left from birth and Dan was able to relieve this. She was much happier and calmer following her treatments, highly recommend.Katie Moore2024-01-22Excellent sports massage with Megan today. First time being treated by Megan. She listened to my issues, discussed treatment and offered advice. Brilliant treatment - worked to the perfect level. Left feeling 10 times better. Would 100% recommend.Gavin Gracie2024-01-15Amazing! After suffering a brain stem stroke in 2022, I was unaqble to swallow despite best efforts from NHS who threw everything they had at my rehab. After a couple of treatments with neuro osteopatyhy at Magdalen Health with Dan I regained the swallow reflex and have not looked back. Even the NHS hospital team have expressed amazement at the results. Osteopathy deserves to be joined up with NHS in my view.Siobhan Appleton2024-01-14I can't recommend this practice enough. Neglect and old age was giving me real issues with my back. The combination of osteopathy with Toby and Dan, Yoga with Caroline and massage with Meghan has worked wonders. The reception staff are also incredibly helpful and will do their best to fit in treatments and move appointments for you - really important for me as my diary changes constantly.Claire Zahn2024-01-06This is such a lovely practice. The clinicians are excellent, the reception team are kind and accommodating. I always feel so looked after here. I get great treatment and leave feeling both physically better and equipped with a plan for at home to keep making progress. I highly recommend this practice.Frank Pike2023-11-13The treatment I have received from Holly has been exceptional in all respects. No need for grim details but suffice to say I was in a bad way when I first showed up. 3 sessions later and I have a reconditioned neck! A very nice touch is that Holly is informative about what she is trying to do and what that might achieve. It feels like being in the loop rather than 'done to.' I'm most impressed. May you all prosper down there!Jane H2023-11-09Holly is a fabulous asset to Magdalen Health. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and is really helping me with my suspected Fibromyalgia and ongoing issues with my neck and back. She offers a holistic approach and our sessions are varied with each and every one benefitting me. She has a brilliant bedside manner and is friendly and approachable as well as professional. I’m really pleased that I’m fortunate enough to have the opportunity to have sessions with her.Tracey Shipley2023-10-12I was recommended to have an appointment with Daniel as I was having serious neck pains. I have found his treatments to be simply amazing. Not only is he treating my neck pain, but has also found traumas which happened years ago, and sorting those too!Claire Wares2023-09-25Toby is incredible! In three sessions he has made such a difference to my neck, shoulders, back and hips. I can not recommend him and the Magdalen Health practice highly enough.
