Many headaches are not just “in the head”.
They are often linked to:
🟢 tension in the neck, shoulders, jaw, and upper chest
🟢 shallow or restricted breathing
🟢 long periods of focus and mental load
🟢 a nervous system that stays switched on for too long
Massage does not diagnose headaches and does not replace medical care. But it can support relaxation and reduce physical tension that often accompanies tension-related headaches.
When the body softens — especially around the neck, shoulders, jaw, and head — some people notice:
💚 less pressure
💚 fewer tension build-ups
💚 easier breathing
💚 a calmer overall state
This does not mean massage “cures” headaches.
It means that reducing muscular and nervous system load can change how often or how intensely tension shows up.
🚨 It’s also important to say this clearly: not all headaches are tension-related, migraines and persistent headaches should always be discussed with a doctor. Massage works best as support, not as a standalone solution.
For many people, the biggest shift comes from regular support and awareness, not from one intense session.
