I'm Getting Headaches or Migraines

If you're experiencing headaches or migraines, you're not alone. Our Registered Massage Therapists help people dealing with tension-related headaches, muscle tightness, and neck and shoulder discomfort every day.

Whether your headaches are brought on by stress, long hours at a desk, poor posture, muscle tension, or everyday activities, they can make it difficult to focus, work, sleep, and enjoy your day.

At Armstrong Massage & Wellness, your treatment begins by understanding what's contributing to your discomfort. We take the time to listen, assess your needs, and create a personalized treatment plan designed to help you feel better, move more comfortably, and support your long-term well-being.

You may be experiencing:

• Frequent tension headaches
• Tight muscles in your neck, shoulders, or upper back
• Headaches that begin at the base of your skull
• Muscle tightness around your jaw or temples
• Neck stiffness that accompanies your headaches
• Poor posture from desk work or driving
• Stress-related muscle tension

You don't need to experience every symptom listed above. Even if only one or two sound familiar, massage therapy may still be able to help.

How massage therapy may help

Your Registered Massage Therapist will tailor your treatment using techniques best suited to your needs. Depending on your symptoms, your treatment may include therapeutic massage, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, gentle stretching, and techniques that help reduce muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, jaw, and upper back.

For clients experiencing ongoing tension headaches or jaw discomfort, we also offer specialized treatments that may complement your massage. Our Headache & Jaw Tension Relief treatment focuses on relieving muscle tension in the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders and may include intraoral (buccal) massage when appropriate. We also offer Therapeutic Scalp Treatments, designed to help release tension through the scalp, temples, neck, and surrounding muscles while promoting deep relaxation.

Massage therapy may help:

• Reduce muscle tension that may contribute to tension headaches
• Improve mobility in the neck and shoulders
• Ease tight muscles in the upper back and jaw
• Promote relaxation and reduce stress-related muscle tension
• Improve posture-related discomfort
• Support your body's natural recovery
• Help you move with greater comfort and confidence

Every treatment is personalized because every body is different. While massage therapy cannot treat every type of headache or migraine, it may help reduce muscular tension that can contribute to certain headaches and improve your overall comfort. Our goal is to provide a professional, relaxing treatment experience tailored to your individual needs.
