Posture, tension and headaches: the link you didn’t suspect

Did you know that your recurring headaches could be caused by poor posture or chronic muscle tension in your neck and shoulders?

Many customers who suffer from migraines, pain behind the eyes or pressure in the temples are unaware that their work posture or accumulated stress may be causing the problem.

The link between posture and head pain

When the muscles in the neck, upper back, and back of the neck are tense, they can compress nerves or disrupt blood flow to the head. This often results in:

  • Neck stiffness
    • Pain between shoulder blades
      • Tension headaches
        • "Headset" feeling

          Massage therapy for lasting relief

          By targeting areas of tension and realigning posture, therapeutic massage therapy can greatly reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches. Treatment often includes:

          • Deep massage of the upper back and neck
            • Physiotherapy techniques to release the neck
              • Personalized postural advice
