Head Massage for Headaches and Jaw Tension

Massage for Tension Headaches, Jaw Tension and Neck Stiffness

Tension headaches, jaw tension and neck stiffness are often caused by tight muscles, stress or poor posture. A physiotherapist may use gentle head massage, including scalp massage, as part of your treatment plan to ease headaches and jaw tension and help you relax. This hands-on therapy may improve circulation, ease muscle tension and reduce the stress that often adds to headaches and neck pain.

Looking at Underlying Causes to Help Prevent Pain From Returning

Along with massage, your physiotherapist will look for underlying causes, such as posture, muscle imbalance or joint restrictions. They will also guide you with exercises, stretches and strategies to help stop the pain from coming back. Head massage can be a soothing and effective part of a wider therapy program designed to restore comfort and improve your overall well-being.
