Do you suffer from chronic, painful, tension headaches? If so, you are definitely not alone. It is estimated that there are approximately 45 million Americans who suffer from chronic tension headache pain. Research is showing that a large part of this suffering public is turning to more natural ways to manage or even eliminate their unbearable pain.

Massage therapy is proving to be a very powerful and effective treatment option and is helping millions of people end their suffering. According to a survey by the National Headache Foundation, 69% of the respondents to their online questionnaire have used massage therapy to help reduce or eliminate their pain.

Massage therapy is effective and successful at treating headache pain because it not only helps the person relax; it also addresses the most common cause of the pain – severe muscle dysfunction and spasm. Unlike conventional medicine, where a patient is prescribed dangerous drugs and painkillers, massage therapy treats the root cause and works to correct the problem, not mask the symptoms.

Most tension headaches are cause by muscle dysfunction – the muscle has become ‘stuck’ in a spasm response to a stimuli. By addressing key muscles and ‘points’ along these muscles, massage helps ‘reset’ the muscles response to the cause and allows it to ‘let go’ and function normally again. Massage therapy works to restore the muscle to its proper function, thus lessening or even preventing headaches from reoccurring.

Massage and Trigger Point therapy can significantly reduce the length, frequency and severity of chronic tension headaches. This allows clients to avoid or reduce the amount of harmful drugs and in severe cases, even avoid surgery.
