Massage For Stress Headache
Massage for Stress Headache
A stress headache, or tension headache, is commonly described as feeling a tight band around the head. Stress headaches are caused by the muscles between your head and neck knotting up and eventually tightening your scalp muscles.
If not treated, stress headaches can impact your quality of life. The treatments vary depending on the type of stress headache. Your doctor may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers such as Ibuprofen and Naproxen. However, a common side effect of frequently using pain relievers for tension headaches is rebound headaches.
Massage therapy is another way to relieve and treat stress headaches. There are two types of massage for stress headaches. A deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, breaking up muscular adhesions which relieve compressed nerves. A Swedish massage is also suitable for relieving stress headaches as this technique uses long, flowing strokes to reduce stress, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.
