Headache
Tension headaches? We’d love to help you relax and rebalance.
Break free from headache’s grip
When persistent headaches strike, they steal more than moments—they rob you of presence, productivity, and peace. That dull throb or piercing pain doesn’t just hurt; it hijacks your ability to focus, engage, and fully experience your day.
At Healing Moments, we recognise that headaches aren’t just in your head—they’re signals from your body that deserve real attention, not just a temporary fix. Our remedial massage therapists specialise in tracing tension patterns to their source, whether it’s tight neck muscles from hours at your desk, jaw clenching from stress, or circulation issues triggering migraines.
What causes headaches?
Headaches can stem from various triggers, including:
- Muscle tension & postural strain: Tightness in the neck, shoulders, and jaw can contribute to tension headaches.
- Stress & anxiety: Increased stress levels can lead to persistent headaches and migraines.
- Poor circulation: Restricted blood flow to the head and neck can intensify headache symptoms.
- Nerve compression: Pressure on nerves in the upper back and neck may lead to radiating pain.
- Jaw clenching (TMJ dysfunction): Tension in the jaw can trigger headaches and facial pain.
- Dehydration: Lack of adequate hydration can reduce blood volume and oxygen flow to the brain, leading to headaches.
- Eye strain: Extended screen time or poor lighting can cause tension around the eyes and forehead.
- Sinus pressure & congestion: Sinus infections or allergies can create pressure in the forehead and around the eyes.
- Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormones (such as during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause) can trigger headaches.
- Food triggers & sensitivities: Certain foods, additives (MSG, artificial sweeteners), caffeine, or alcohol can contribute to headaches.
