Tension headaches often stem from stress, poor posture, and tight muscles in the neck and upper back. While over-the-counter pain relievers provide temporary relief, they do not address the root cause. Reflexology takes a holistic approach by stimulating specific pressure points on the feet and hands that correspond to areas throughout the body. Many clients report feeling immediate improvement after just one session, with longer-lasting results coming from consistent weekly or biweekly appointments.

How Massage Helps Relieve Chronic Headaches
Here the evidence is thinner than you might expect. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health notes that only a small number of studies of massage for headache have been completed, and that their results are not consistent. Some people find a neck, shoulder and scalp session settles a tension headache; others do not. Either way it is not a substitute for seeing a doctor about recurring headaches. By targeting trigger points in the neck, shoulders, and feet, skilled therapists help release the tension patterns that lead to recurring pain. Reflexology in particular addresses nerve pathways connected to the head, offering relief that goes beyond surface-level relaxation.
