Massage Those Regular Headaches Away

Headaches can be a real misery and sometimes it can seem as if you’ve tried everything to get rid of them but they just keep on coming back. Painkillers can seem like the obvious choice because yes, they do work – but then the headache will often return. If you’re really unlucky you may also end up with a rebound headache which is common in people who take painkillers regularly. So, what can you do?

If your doctor tells you that medically you’re fine and sends you away with instructions to relax more and get some sleep, it might feel as though you’re not being taken seriously. If just getting more sleep and less stress where the answer we’d have found a way to do it by now, and in any case…life isn’t that simple. And you still have a headache.

Remedial Massage therapy might be a way out of the headache hell that doesn’t involve taking drugs that only end up making the problem worse. More Australians complain about headaches than any other medical condition. Headache Australia states that more than 6 million Australian suffer from headaches and migraines every year, and of course that’s only the people who report them. Statistically, this it’s around 15% of the population.

How Can Massage Help With Headaches?

Massage has two main benefits when it comes to beating regular headaches.

A massage can help headaches that are caused by trigger points, muscle spasms, and general tension. These are thought to be a major cause of headaches and a massage therapist has some great tools to help give you relief from the pain – her hands. Some points on your body, like the back of your skull can bring on a feeling of deep relaxation, and this spot is known to be a great place to massage anyone who has tension headaches.

Regular massage or reflexology therapy helps to regulate hormones in your body that manage your mood, sleeping patterns, and appetite. We all know that if we’re feeling tired, if we have low blood sugar or if we’re just in a bad mood we’re prone to getting headaches, so regulating the hormones responsible can really help decrease the number of headaches you experience.

What Else Can You Do About Regular Headaches?

There are other things that will help banish your regular sore heads, and your massage therapist will be able to give you a bit of advice about what might work for you – as well as providing healing hands.

Make sure that you tell your massage therapist about your work environment, sleeping habits and arrangements and even things like how much coffee you drink because these are all potential triggers for headaches that with a little tweaking could substantially reduce the number of bad heads you suffer from.

With something as common as a headache, often it’s the simple things that can make all the difference. A muscle tension easing massage can potentially relieve headaches caused by bad posture, too many pillows or not getting enough exercise, reducing pressure on the nerves and blood vessels that compound the problem.

So next time you reach to pop another pill, remember that masking the pain with a drugstore remedy will not stop your headaches.

To get those stilettos out your head, book your remedial massage appointment today and see how it can help you!

She was extremely thorough in going through the new client questionnaire and asking further questions about health and well being and any issues or concerns before starting the treatment, and genuinely interested in providing you with the best overall treatment possible.

She puts time and effort into understanding what each of her clients need- not just in the sense that she listens to you, but she watches your body and figures out the areas that might be extra tight, or in pain, or are out of alignment. Then she sets about fixing it. In that way you aren't just going to find relief short term, but over the long term you'll find you get better and better, so you're less reliant on massages for pain relief! She is intuitive about what your needs are in each individual session too- for example, we often chat which is a lot of fun (Mariska is clever and engaging and thoughtful about life) but there have been times when I have been very stressed and very tired and in those sessions Mariska was very quiet and I almost fell asleep- just what I needed.

    I'm not sure how she created such a haven amidst the hustle and bustle of Epping town centre, but that's exactly what she's done. If you're anywhere nearby, I urge you to take advantage of Mariska's magical hands! And if you're not nearby, it's worth the trip :)
