3 Reasons to make a massage to relieve headache an ally:

In addition to stress and anxiety, muscle tension is one of the main causes of headaches, neck and back pain. Massages relieve muscle tension, reducing pain symptoms.

Discover the benefits of massages that relieve headaches and find out what is behind your discomfort:

Reduce muscle tension

Did you know that headaches after a long day at work can be a sign of accumulated muscle tension?

This type of headache has the technical name of Tension Headache and can also affect the neck. The sensation is of heaviness or pressure in the head, especially in the forehead and temples.

There are specific massage techniques that relieve headaches caused by muscle tension by relaxing all the muscles involved.

Massages promote a feeling of well-being by activating blood circulation and, consequently, reducing blood pressure.

Minimize medication use

Relieving headaches with natural techniques is one way to avoid constant medication intake. Massages stimulate the production of endorphins, a chemical produced by our body that works as a natural pain reliever.

Decrease stress and anxiety

Massages that relieve headaches also help to reduce stress and anxiety, as well as sleep better.

There are strategic points in our body where there is accumulated tension, such as the back of the neck. During the massage, these key points are pressed and the intensity of pain decreases, as does the levels of cortisol (the stress hormone).

Did you know that in addition to all the health benefits, massages for the relief of headaches also have aesthetic benefits by stimulating hair growth. When performed periodically, they can increase hair growth by up to 1 cm because they stimulate blood circulation in the scalp.
