💆♀️ Remedial Massage for Headaches 💆♂️
Headaches can come from more than just stress — often, they’re linked to muscle tension and postural strain.
As remedial therapists, we see common tension patterns that contribute to different types of headaches:
🌀 Tension-Type Headaches
Often caused by tightness through the neck, shoulders, and upper back, especially the trapezius, suboccipital, and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscles.
You might feel a dull ache wrapping around the head or behind the eyes.
⚡ Cervicogenic Headaches
These start from dysfunction in the upper neck (C1–C3) and can radiate to the back of the head or one side of the face.
Postural imbalances, prolonged desk work, or stress can trigger these.
🔥 Trigger Point Referral Patterns
Tight muscles like the suboccipitals, upper traps, and SCM can refer pain to the temples, forehead, or behind the eyes — mimicking migraine-like pain.
✨ How Remedial Massage Helps:
Releases muscular tension and trigger points
Improves blood flow and mobility through the neck and shoulders
Reduces stress and nervous system overload
Promotes better posture and awareness
💆♀️ A regular remedial massage can help ease these tension patterns and reduce both the frequency and intensity of headaches.
📅 Book your next session to help relieve that head, neck, and shoulder tightness before it turns into another headache.
