EXCERPTS:

"Massage to the neck and head can relieve headaches by releasing tight, shortened muscles, trigger points, and fascia (connective tissue surrounding muscles and other structures). When muscles and fascia relax and become more pliable, circulation improves. This helps eliminate irritating waste products and brings oxygen and healing nutrients to tissues."

"When you focus on the pleasant sensation of relaxation the persistent grip of pain recedes. As the body relaxes, so does the mind, reducing anxiety that may be part of your headache pattern. The nervous system calms and your breath slows and deepens, and your feeling of well-being is restored."
