About Nova Head & Neck Physiotherapy
Appointments start with a 60-90 minute initial assessment, followed by 30 minute reviews. Findings are explained in plain language and treatment is built around the person's presentation and goals, which may include hands-on treatment, exercises and practical advice.
Kirsty trained through a four year mentorship in a specialist headache clinic in Belfast and spent two years as its clinical manager. The clinic works alongside consultants, GPs, dentists, ENT and neurology teams where needed and can refer onward.

Questions people ask
Do I need a GP referral?

How long is the first appointment?
60-90 minutes depending on the assessment booked. Second and later appointments last 30 minutes.
Can physiotherapy help migraines?
The clinic says it can help through advice, education, exercise, lifestyle changes and treatment of neck or jaw problems where appropriate, alongside medical care.
