As an executive mom, chances are your days are packed from back-to-back meetings to running the household and everything in between. You are juggling it all, but when those headaches hit, its like your body forces you to slow down. You have tried the usual things: painkillers, hydration, maybe even blue light glasses. But the headaches keep coming back and deep down, you know something is being overlooked. Here is the truth most people miss: if your headache strategy doesn’t include managing neck tension, you are only scratching the surface. Lets discuss more in this blog.
Headaches that start in the neck are more common than you think. These are called cervicogenic headaches and they are surprisingly common in high-performing women who spend long hours at desks or on devices. The neck and upper back muscles become tight and overworked, pulling on surrounding structures and triggering pain that radiates into the head. If you are only treating the head pain, you are missing the root cause.
Stress, Screens & Static Posture = A Recipe for Neck Tension
When you're focused for hours - working, managing, thinking, it is easy to forget about posture. But your muscles don’t forget. Day after day, they accumulate tension. Your neck becomes stiff. Your shoulders creep upward. Eventually, it all bubbles up into a headache. The mistake? Treating the symptoms without resetting the system.
What helps:
Gentle, regular movement. Strategic posture resets. Targeted mobility work. These aren’t extras. They are essentials.

Relief comes from the neck, not just the medicine cabinet! Real pain relief happens when you reduce the physical tension that’s triggering the pain. That means creating a daily rhythm that supports your neck and nervous system, not just reacting to pain when it shows up. The good news? You don’t need hour-long workouts or fancy gear. You just need the right tools, taught the right way, designed to fit your life, not take it over.
You don’t have to keep chasing temporary fixes. There’s a more effective, clear path that helps you feel better for good. The Cervicogenic Headache Course walks you through exactly how to reduce neck-driven headaches, step by step. This course was made with you in mind: busy, brilliant, tired of the pain, and finally ready for relief that lasts, without adding more to your plate.
