Massage Therapy for Tension Headaches in West Sayville, NY
Tension headaches often come with tight muscles in the neck, shoulders, and scalp.
Why it matters
Research on massage for headaches is mixed, but many people find that releasing muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back leaves them feeling more comfortable and relaxed. Massage is also a calm hour to rest, which matters when stress is a headache trigger.
What the research says
NCCIH notes that results for headaches are inconsistent across studies. NCCIH, Massage Therapy: What You Need To Know
What to expect
Your licensed massage therapist starts by asking about your symptoms, health history, and pressure preference, then tailors the session to you. Tell your therapist right away if anything feels uncomfortable.
Massage works alongside, not in place of, care from your physician. Results vary from person to person.
