Solutions for Headaches and Migraines with Remedial Massage
Headaches and migraines can have a debilitating impact on clients, and as a therapist, I frequently encounter such cases. While clients often understand their triggers and manage them effectively, external factors can disrupt their management strategies.
In my practice, I address various causes, including muscular tension and imbalances in the neck and shoulder area, neck or spinal joint dysfunction, and abnormalities in the cervical spine. Additionally, facial muscle issues associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction can contribute to headaches.

By identifying and addressing these underlying causes, therapists can effectively alleviate headaches and offer treatment advice. Remedial massage techniques, such as deep tissue and soft tissue methods, can help release tension, improve blood flow, and reduce muscle spasms that contribute to headaches. Moreover, when performed accurately, dry needling or acupuncture can provide targeted relief.
However, it's important to note that while remedial massage can provide relief for many individuals, it is not a substitute for medical advice. If clients experience chronic or severe headaches or migraines, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
Overall, remedial massage therapy presents a non-invasive and holistic approach that promotes relaxation, addresses muscular tension, and enhances overall well-being for individuals dealing with headaches and migraines.
