Bodywork:

Regular bodywork is a particularly effective treatment for tension headaches, which often result from stress. The experience of receiving bodywork leads you to a state of deep relaxation and loosens the grip of stressors. As the body relaxes, so does the mind, reducing anxiety, calming the nervous system, slowing the breath, and restoring your sense of wellbeing. The treatment helps to increase awareness of tension patterns that affect your posture, supporting the realignment of your body and reducing posture-related headaches. Injuries to the neck caused by trauma or overuse often result in strained muscle tissue and accumulation of restrictive scar tissue. Bodywork promotes healing and breaks up these adhesions, making the muscles, fascia and ligaments of the neck more pliable, and reducing associated head pain. For sufferers of debilitating migraine headaches, receiving regular bodywork sessions can be a powerful preventive measure. As accumulated physical and mental stress dissolves over time, the frequency and intensity of migraines is reduced.
