Headache & Migraine Clinic

I think she unintentionally taught me how to massage my neck which has been helpful for easing tension

My headaches started after I had moved from our family home, my husband had passed away and I had two years of breast cancer. I had never had headaches before but I was literally lying on the floor wondering what is going on with me my head was thumping and I just felt terrible most of the time. I hadnt ever had headaches before so it was out of the blue. My doctor diagnosed them as migraines, sent me to hospital for a head scan, also had heart and lung scans - everything was clear, thank goodness! However the headaches continued and really my doctor had run out of ideas for me. This is when I started googling for answers and found the Migraine andHeadache Clinic in New Lynn. I phoned Linda and spoke to her, she kindly emailed exercises to start with, as I live in Hamilton and was going away I couldnt visit her Clinic. I have now had 2 sessions with Sylvia at New Lynn Clinic and have been relieved of the headaches - my life has changed! Literally! The treatment is simple, non invasive and absolutely logical to me, learning how to relieve the stress and pressure which has built up in my body over the years. Sylvia explains the treatment clearly, precisely and helps me work through exercises to continue at home. I am really grateful to have found Linda, New Lynn Clinic and the method they use for migraines/headaches.

After 3 months of constant headaches, trying various painkillers, doctor's visits and massages, it was time to try another option. I found New Lynn Physiotherapy online and booked my first appointment through their website. You get to choose which practitioner you want and there is plenty of information about each person - their areas of expertise, skills, qualifications, etc. I chose Catherine, based on her skill set rellevant to my issue and I am amazed at how quickly and effectively she resolved the problem. In the first hour assesment Catherine assertained what the cause of my headaches was and started treatment. In only three more sessions (1/2 hour each), I walk out of there pain free. She also taught me some simple but very effective excersises and ideas to prevent the headaches from returning. I couldn't be happier with the treatments and outcome. Catherine is very professional, highly skilled and friendly, I always left the sessions feeling calm, relaxed and confident that I was in safe hands. I highly recommend New Lynn Physiotherapy and Catherine in particular.

Life changing Thank goodness for this wounderful team. I was so desperate and had tried everything to Manage my migraines which I have suffered with for years, nothing worked I was getting them 3x a week. I was at breaking point. Since Ive been seeing Nicky she has taught me how to manage my posture (which is amazing, when I feel one coming on I use the tools she has given me and I have control over the migraine). And I havent taken Sumatriptan this whole year which is amazing I also live with Hashimotos if that helps anyone Thanks to the amazing team.

After years struggling with migraines, I almost cant believe Nicky has helped me become migraine-free. Before I came to see her I was experiencing multiple migraines a week, relying heavily on medications, and trying to avoid a growing list of triggers. In only a couple of sessions things improved; and after 5 sessions I'm close to completely migraine-free. After seeing other physios and doctors with no results, I never thought things would improve for me the way they have, I have my normal life back. If you have been struggling with migraines I highly recommend you book in with Nicky.
