What Is a Headache?
Your comfort and well-being matter at Tri Physical Therapy. Headaches don't have to control your day. Headaches are one of the most common reasons people seek relief. A headache can feel like pressure, tension, or sharp pain in the head, neck, or face. While some are mild, others can disrupt your daily life. There are several types of headaches, and each feels a little different:
- Tension headaches often bring a dull, aching pressure across the forehead or back of the head and neck.
- Migraines are more intense and may include throbbing pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound.
- Cluster headaches bring severe pain around one eye and often happen in patterns or "clusters."
- Sinus headaches are linked to nasal congestion and facial pressure.
- Cervicogenic headaches start in the neck and radiate to the head, often tied to posture or injury.
Pain may appear with other symptoms, such as neck pain and headache, eye pain and headache, or jaw pain and headache. To understand which type affects you and how to relieve it, schedule a consultation at Tri Physical Therapy in Phoenix, AZ.
How Are Headaches Treated?
Headache treatment at Tri Physical Therapy focuses on restoring proper movement and reducing muscle tension. Physical therapy can ease nerve irritation and increase circulation in areas that may trigger pain. Our therapists use targeted methods such as soft tissue release, joint mobilization, posture training, and corrective exercises. These hands-on techniques help relieve tightness in the neck, shoulders, and jaw. These are effective ways to get rid of headaches for the body without relying only on medication.
What are the causes of headaches?
There are many causes of headaches, and they aren't always obvious. Some begin in the muscles and joints. Others come from stress or changes inside the body. Poor posture, such as sitting at a desk for prolonged periods of time, can also trigger headaches. It's important to look at all possible sources of pain to find lasting relief. Common sources include:
- Muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
- TMJ disorders or tight jaw muscles
- Visual strain from screens or bright light
- Prolonged sitting with poor posture
- Lack of sleep or poor hydration
- Sudden spikes in blood pressure
- Hormonal shifts
- Environmental factors like allergens or noise

Tri Physical Therapy Reviews
I had full ankle replacement surgery at the end of 12/2024 - found TRI PT in February of this year after looking for medical massage for the muscle tightness and actual one to one work with a physical therapist. If your surgeon sends you to the spot where you are just a number at the typical PT large chain place - go here, you won’t regret it.The entire team at TRI PT is amazing and committed to my recovery - I can’t thank Karen, Barb, Anna and Katie enough.
This place is so professional and clean!! I love it. I get medical massages from Katey who is amazing! Can’t say enough on how wonderful all the services are. 10 out 10!
I recently started receiving thereputic massage from Kady, and I have to say that the professionalism and ability of Tri-Physical therapy and their staff has been a game-changer in my healing process. Highly recommend this facility, and absolutely recommend Kady for the medical massage.
Tri Physical Therapy has been amazing with helping me strengthen my body. I was having back pain. With help from Karen and Katy I feel much stronger, haven’t had any back pain, and I am learning stretches I can do at home between appointments to continue to build on my goals. Scheduling is easy and the office is always upbeat and welcoming. I highly recommend Tri Physical Therapy!
I’ve been using Tri-Physical Therapy as part of my ongoing care and the staff has been wonderful to work with. They listen to any concerns I may have and make adjustments as necessary. My treatments has been a very collaborative approach.
