The Power of Massage
February 25th, 2009 . by editor
Your daily activities can be compromised when you suffer from a migraine attack. Sensitivity to light and sound is common brought about by hormonal changes, lack of rest and sleep, lack of food, stress and fatigue.
One way to alleviate the agonizing pain of migraine is through massage. Applying gentle pressure to the head, neck, shoulders can offers relief of muscle stiffness in these areas and relaxation. You can either massage yourself or let a qualified massage therapist do it for you. It is better though if you learn different anti-migraine massages yourself, so you can immediately give yourself some relief when you are suddenly faced with an attack. Pain medication does help, but are sure to be times when you have no access to pain meds – besides, dependence on pain medication can be harmful to you.
