Physical Therapy for Migraine Treatment

There is no better physical therapist out there than Lisa Jain. I had suffered from terrible migraines for most of my life. My migraines were getting so debilitating I was regularly having to take off work for them. In 2009, my doctor gave me a prescription for physical therapy.

Lisa was incredible from the very beginning. Her bedside manner is amazing. She understands pain, having been through physical therapy herself. Lisa is very empathetic, which is so helpful. She promised me she wouldn’t give up on me and would figure out some way to make me better. And she REALLY DID make me better.

​Lisa figured out that I was having chronic tension headaches that would lead to my migraines. Through the combination of exercises and treatments she did for me in the office, combined with her ingenious use of physio tape, my incidence of migraines went from 3 a week to less than 1 every 6 weeks. For the first time in years my shoulders and neck felt like shoulders and a neck, instead of a hard, knotted, painful mess.

I moved to Boston in 2010, but the amazing effects of Lisa’s treatment have continued until today. I am forever thankful for Lisa giving me my life back. Without question, if you are looking for someone who will put everything they have into your physical therapy, Lisa is the person you should go to.
