The Headache Clinic - Invercargill.

I am the Director and Senior Clinician at The Headache Clinic in Invercargill, New Zealand, with a special interest in concussion, headache and migraine management. I am passionate about helping people recover from concussion safely and confidently, whether that is getting back to work, school, everyday life or sport. As a mum of three active boys who have all played contact sports, I understand both sides of concussion management. I know how important sport and activity are for athletes and families, and I also understand the importance of making sure recovery and return to play are done safely and properly. I use an evidence-informed approach that combines hands-on cervical spine treatment, exercise rehabilitation, education and active recovery strategies. I have a particular interest in persistent concussion symptoms, especially where neck dysfunction, headache, dizziness and autonomic symptoms are contributing factors. Working in the field of concussion, headache and migraine has allowed me to combine my passion for hands-on physiotherapy with helping people get back to doing the things that matter most to them.

Having suffered my own concussion injury, I know first hand the impact this condition can have on your life. Getting to the cause of the persisting symptoms and having a team of experts to support you in your recovery is vital for your recovery. In 2014, I opened New Zealand's first Headache Clinic of it's kind. We now have 8 clinics nationwide and team of passionate clinicians who are invested in making their patient's lives better. At The Headache Clinic we aim to offer a life-changing service to all of our patients.
