The Watson Headache® Approach

Your initial appointment will last an hour to allow Maia to fully assess what is driving your headache in order to treat the structures responsible, not just the symptoms.

By finding out details of your specific headache such as:

  • Intensity
  • Duration
  • Frequency
  • Location

...we can quickly assess how your treatment is progressing. Often where you feel the pain is not where it is coming from. With a detailed assessment the goal is to find the source and demonstrate this to you during the consultation.

Maia is a Watson Headache® Certified Practitioner.

The course was based on the Watson Headache® Approach, a protocol for the skilled assessment and management of the upper cervical (neck) spine in Cervicogenic and Primary Headache, and related conditions in which the underlying dysfunction is sensitisation of the lower brainstem. The Watson Headache® Approach is recognised as a scientifically researched method of examination as well as a comprehensive clinical management system.
