    Non-invasive spinal therapy

    Migraine

    Migraines are complex, and their causes are not fully understood. But for many people, neck and upper back tension plays a significant contributing role — triggering or worsening episodes that are otherwise managed with medication. Virginia works alongside your existing migraine care to address the spinal and muscular component, which for some people leads to a meaningful reduction in the frequency and severity of attacks.

    How ASMI works

    What you might notice

    • Intense, often one-sided throbbing head pain
    • Sensitivity to light, sound, or smell
    • Nausea or vomiting during attacks
    • Visual disturbances or aura before onset
    • Neck stiffness in the period leading up to an attack

    How Virginia can help

    • ASMI releases neck and upper back tension that can trigger migraine episodes
    • Reduces cervical muscle spasm — a known contributing factor for many migraine sufferers
    • Gentle sessions that don't aggravate light or noise sensitivity
    • Works alongside your medication rather than replacing it
    • A supportive, calm environment designed to minimise sensory stimulation

    Frequently asked questions

    Is spinal therapy a replacement for migraine medication?
    No. Virginia's work addresses the physical, spinal component of migraine rather than the neurological mechanisms. She works alongside your GP or neurologist — not instead of them. Any changes to medication should be discussed with your prescribing doctor.
    How will I know if spinal therapy is helping my migraines?
    Virginia will ask you to keep a simple record of migraine frequency and severity. Over 4–6 weeks you should be able to see whether there's a pattern of improvement. If there isn't, she will be honest with you about that.
    Can I come for a session during a migraine?
    It's best to come between attacks rather than during one. During an attack the body is highly sensitised, and even gentle treatment may be uncomfortable or counterproductive. Virginia will plan sessions to fit around your migraine pattern.
