why massage for headaches?
Nervous System Regulation
Massage triggers the body's parasympathetic nervous system (rest &digest). Breathing slows, blood pressure lowers, relaxation becomes possible. The overall decrease in the body's stress response can significantly help in reducing headache symptoms.
Happy Hormones
The increase in feel-good hormones from massage like dopamine and serotonin, along with a decrease in cortisol, can greatly help to reduce feelings of pain as well as headache triggers like stress and anxiety.
Muscle Relaxation
Relief of the tension in the head, neck, and shoulders has shown to help to reduce the intensity and frequency of headaches.
Circulation
Massage helps to increase blood flow and promote oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain, which can help to alleviate headache pain.
