Introduction: Emotional factors, pericranial myofascial nociception and ineffectiveness of central regulation of pain are mechanisms related to tension type-headache, with emphasis on psychosocial factors and muscle overload due inadequate posture. Objectives: To describe the use of Global Postural Reeducation (GPR) in tension type-headache. Methods: Six women (28.16 ± 7.57 years), classification 2 in International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition (ICHD-3) and score ≥ 50 in the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) participated in 4 sessions of GPR, for 40 minutes, once a week. Pain was evaluated by the Visual Analog Scale of Pain (VAS) and stabilometric and baropodometric evaluation were performed with pressure platform. Results: Reduction of pain (6.8 ±1,3 vs 3 ± 0.6; p = 0.000) and headache impact (58.5 ± 5.2 vs 47.3 ±6.0; p = 0.002), increase in the oscillation of the center of standardized pressure, both as sagittal (0.8 ± 0.2 vs 1.3 ± 0.3 mm2; p = 0.014) and frontal plane (0.08 ± 0.33 vs 1.50 ± 0.32 mm2; p = 0.026) were observed, as well as more hindfoot ground contact compared to forefoot (65.33 ± 6.37% vs 34.66 ± 6.37%; p = 0.002), which was maintained after the sessions (63.0 ± 6.38% vs 37.0 ± 6.38%; p = 0.004). Conclusion: The GPR technique promoted reduction on impact of headache and pain and showed to be effective as a method of postural correction, visualized by increased pressure center oscillation.
