Unity Massage & Wellness Grande Prairie

Tension headaches are often caused by tight muscles such as:
• Suboccipitals
• Upper trapezius
• Sternocleidomastoid (SCM)
• Temporalis and jaw muscles
When these muscles stay tight, they can refer pain into the head, leading to headaches that many people don’t realize are muscular.
Massage can help by:
✔ Reducing muscle tension
✔ Improving circulation
✔ Releasing trigger points
If you find yourself reaching for pain medication regularly, addressing the muscle tension behind the headache can make a big difference.
