Discover how massage therapy can effectively relieve tension headaches, the most common type of headache that affects more than 90 percent of the population. Tension headaches cause a dull ache in the lower back of the head, neck, eyes, or shoulders, often feeling like a clamp squeezing the head. These headaches occur due to overly tense neck and scalp muscles, often triggered by stress, depression, or injury.

Massage therapy targets muscle tension, eliminating the root cause of headaches and providing much-needed pain relief. Massage can alleviate the discomfort and pain associated with tension headaches.

Anatomy

The head and neck muscles play a crucial role in supporting the head's weight, making them prone to fatigue. Spending prolonged periods reading, playing a musical instrument, or looking at a computer screen can strain these muscles causing tension headaches. Fortunately, massage of the head, neck, and shoulders can provide relief from headaches.

Role of Massage

Incorporating regular massage therapy into your routine can act as a preventative measure, reducing the likelihood of getting tension headaches in the first place. If you regularly work at a desk or engage in activities that are stressful or demand intense concentration, massage therapy can help keep headaches at bay.

Don't wait for headaches to become chronic; schedule regular massage therapy sessions to experience relief and prevent frequent headaches.
