Massage Away Tension Headaches
Tension headaches are a common problem among Americans. Migraines can cause a sufferer to be sensitive to light, noise and may even cause nausea. Migraines and other tension type headaches can cause employees to miss work, can disrupt sleep patterns, and can cause high levels of stress and pain. Many sufferers get some relief from medications, but tension type headaches often arrive without warning. For those who wish to treat the problem without medications, massage has been a welcome therapy.
Massage for tension type headaches and migraines can be utilized in multiple ways. Primarily, routine massages can help prevent these incidents from occurring in the first place. As work-related stress is a precursor to tension headaches, a proactive approach requires a weekly regimen of massage to promote stress relief and relaxation. Massage also relaxes the trigger points that tend to tense up and cause muscle spasms related to migraine headaches. By relaxing these areas on a consistent basis, the frequency of migraines should be reduced significantly.
Massage can also help to reduce the sleep problems and pain associated headaches. The sufferer should experience reduced frequency of migraines, as well as decreased muscle spasms and stress. As a matter of convenience, it is not always practical to leave work in the middle of the day for a massage therapy appointment. As a morale booster and productivity enhancer, many employers are willing to allow qualified massage therapists to visit the office once a week for 15 minute chair massage sessions. A day or two before the event, employees simple sign up for a time slot and instead of taking a coffee break or smoke break, they enjoy a 15 minute temple massage, foot massage, or back massage in the comfort of a padded massage chair.
If you work in an office setting, why not propose a “chair massage therapy” session to the boss? It typically costs the employer nothing since each person pays for their own 15-minute time slot. It is a non-disruptive way to make work a more pleasant environment while helping to prevent stress and tension.
