WHAT IS MEDICAL MASSAGE FOR MIGRAINES?

Evidence-Based Treatment for Lasting Relief

Medical massage for migraines is a targeted, therapeutic approach designed to reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of migraine attacks. Rather than treating the symptoms alone, our licensed massage therapists work to relieve the physical and neurological patterns that contribute to headache pain.

WHY MEDICAL MASSAGE FOR MIGRAINES?

This specialized treatment often includes a combination of:

  • Trigger point therapy

  • Cranial and cervical soft tissue release

  • Myofascial release

  • Osteopathic Cranial Mobilization

  • Neck and shoulder tension reduction

  • Breathwork and nervous system regulation
     

Medical Massage has been shown to improve blood flow, reduce cortisol levels, decrease muscle tightness, and promote parasympathetic activation—all of which play a role in migraine prevention and relief.

BENEFITS OF MEDICAL MASSAGE FOR MIGRAINE SUFFERERS

Holistic, Whole-Body Headache Relief

Massage for migraines is not just about relaxing—it’s about regulating. By improving alignment, relieving soft tissue tension, and calming the nervous system, our treatments may:

REDUCE THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF MIGRAINES

MINIMIZE MUSCLE TENSION IN THE NECK, SCALP, JAW & SHOULDERS

DECREASE RELIANCE ON MEDICATION OVER TIME

IMPROVE SLEEP QUALITY & ENERGY LEVELS

ADDRESS CONTRIBUTING FACTORS LIKE POSTURE, TMJ & STRESS

RESTORE BALANCE TO THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

Whether your migraines are triggered by tension, hormonal shifts, stress, or screen time, medical massage can provide powerful, long-term support for your recovery and prevention plan.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR SESSION

Gentle, Attuned, and Rooted in Science

Your therapist will begin by reviewing your migraine history, triggers, frequency, and related symptoms. We’ll use a combination of gentle yet effective manual techniques to release restrictions in your neck, shoulders, jaw, and cranial structures.

Unlike general relaxation massage, this work is precise and therapeutic, often focused on known trigger points or tension patterns commonly linked to migraines. The session may also include strategies to calm the vagus nerve and reduce sympathetic overdrive, leaving you feeling deeply relaxed and reset.
