Say Goodbye to Headaches and Migraines: The Surprising Benefits of Massage Therapy
Suffering from headaches or migraines can be debilitating and affect your daily life. Did you know that massage therapy can be an effective way to alleviate the symptoms of these conditions? Here's how it works and what you need to know:
1. Reduces muscle tension:
Often, tension headaches are caused by tightness and tension in the head, neck, and scalp. Massage therapy works by increasing circulation and relaxation, which can help alleviate that tension, reduce pain and release trigger points.
2. Improves blood flow:
Some headaches occur due to reduced blood flow due to constriction of blood vessels. Massage therapy can help increase blood circulation and, over time, reduce the incidence of migraines.
3. Lowers stress:
Stress is often a contributing factor to headaches and migraines, especially migraines that are preceded by an aura. Massage therapy stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system and reduces tension in the body, leading to a feeling of relaxation and peace, which can help alleviate stress and tension.
