Understand Your Body. Improve Your Movement
Massage therapy has proven to be an effective measure for reducing both chronic migraines and tension headaches. Massage therapy can decrease pain, tension, intensity, and frequency of headaches. When getting massages on a regular basis, it can decrease the frequency of migraines.
Tension headaches are characterized by sensation of tightness or pressure across the forehead or on the sides and back of the head that is caused from tightness in the neck and shoulder muscles. These too are preventable with regular massage, generally recommended every 4 to 6 weeks. It’s a great health maintenance protocol.
