Massage and Tension Headaches
Massage
therapy reduces the occurrences of tension headaches. In Live Strong Joe King,
MD asserts that many chronic tension headaches can lead to a buildup of
collagen fibers where your tendons and ligaments attach to the bones of your
head and neck. These fibers do not contract and are hard and stiff. The
presence of collagen fibers can result in physical deformity, discomfort, pain,
and a decrease in joint function, which can all trigger more tension headaches.
Massage can be used to break up the collagen fibers located around your
cervical vertebrae, which can alleviate the stress they place on your muscles
and joints. Further, massage offers an alternative treatment because it is a
non invasive, soothing method to the manage discomfort and prevent further
episodes. In my practice I have worked with several clients who experience high
levels of suffering from ongoing headaches and migraine episodes and they have
all received significant relief from massage sessions.
