Whether it is caused by too much time in front of a computer, driving for long periods, or a build up of stress, a tension headache can last hours and even days. And that is the very problem with stress or tension. Once you've reached this point it can be hard to find your way back to a state of relaxation, or ‘balance.’
The NHS state that over 40% of the UK population suffer from tension headaches and many will invariably turn to painkillers. Painkillers can be beneficial in the short-term; however, if they are used over a longer time period they can damage your liver and stomach and also mask the problem.
Through regular massage of the shoulder, neck, head and face muscles we can begin to relieve this tension and gently ease the pain away. Indian head massage relaxes these muscles whilst improving circulation to them. It totally relaxes the nervous system, calming pain receptors and releasing endorphins to improve your mood and release those tense and tired muscles.
