A lot of time has passed since headaches were something we just had to suffer through.
Nowadays we know more about their causes and how to proceed in treating them.
Many things can cause headaches, from physical to psychological conditions or even a mixture of both. Sadly, many of these headaches get treated “on the go” due to our busy lives. An aspirin may very well relieve your headache, but it’s just a “one size fits all” solution.
At least 30% of the US population deals with periodic tension headaches. Theses headaches are common in individuals in high stress jobs, and also for those who spend hours in awkward body postures, or those who are going through a difficult life situation.
There is no miracle cure for these kind of stress headaches, except to do what’s necessary to alleviate the triggers and reduce the number of occurrences of this kind of headache. Aside from receiving professional medical advice, it has been proven that massage therapy can be a great way to relax the body, correct, to some degree, the damage caused by improper body postures, and bring peace to our minds to alleviate stress.
