The Headache Massage
Work and studying can be a real pain in the neck—literally! If you often experience nagging pain between your shoulder blades, along your spine, and throughout your upper body, along with headaches that radiate from your neck or the base of your skull, you may be dealing with a tension headache.
Tension headaches are believed to be the most common type of headache in the United States. They are primarily caused by dysfunctional movement patterns and muscle tension in the shoulders and neck, often brought on by stress, poor posture, or repetitive strain.
How do you know if that's the kind of headache you experience? Here are some tell-tale signs:
- Dull (not throbbing) pressure in the head
- It may feel like your head is in a vise
- The headaches are not specific, the pain is all over
- The pain is more persistent in the scalp, temples, back of the neck, and shoulders
Unfortunately, many people suffer from these headaches chronically (two or more times a week for a period of weeks or months).
Great news—we’ve developed a specialized massage designed not just to relieve tension headaches, upper body discomfort, and chronic pain, but to address their root causes. The Headache Massage is a thoughtfully crafted session that includes:
- Targeted massage to release tight neck and shoulder muscles
- Stretching techniques to restore proper muscle function
- Jaw massage to alleviate TMJ disorder symptoms and promote balance
- Scalp and facial massage to reduce head pressure
- Customized aromatherapy for effective topical pain relief
- Postural assessment to identify issues contributing to your pain or headaches
- Personalized stretches and postural recommendations to support your body’s natural healing process
This comprehensive approach is designed to provide lasting relief and promote overall wellness. The Headache Massage sessions are available in various lengths, but we recommend a 90-minute session for the most comprehensive treatment.
