What are headaches caused by?

Headaches can be caused from stress or from muscle tension. These can range from the regular tension headache to the migraine headache. Headaches that are stressed induced will be relieved from massage, however if these headaches are re-occurring then it is critical for the therapist to do a thorough evaluation of the client’s posture to determine if the position of the hips are causing the muscles of the cranial base to tighten. This will eventually bring on a headache.

Sitting at an office desk, driving for long periods of time, reading while in bed or slouched in a chair, all have the capacity to effect the position of the cranium which will cause muscular imbalances which may lead to re-occurring headaches. These headaches may be called "tension headaches" or "migraine headaches".

How does Paths in Healing address headache pain?

In working headaches we focus on getting relief from the headache in the session however we also focus on obtaining information as to why the headache exist. A postural charting and detailed assessment allows us to find the true symptom of what is causing the headache, especially if they are reoccurring. If it is a postural problem we will address the muscles that are involved elsewhere in the body that may be contributing to the inefficient posture which will result in the re-occurring of the headaches. In this manner we not only address the pain of the headache but we also address the reoccurrence of such pain.

To enhance the work we also use essential oils and Sound and Vibration.
