DO YOU
SUFFER FROM
HEADACHES?
By Deborah Karlan, L.M.T.
D O YOU WAKE UP WITH
headaches or have tightness in
your neck, shoulders and facial
muscles or have a painful scalp? Do you
grind your teeth? If so, you may have a
trigger point or jaw problem. Restorative
massage can help relax muscle tension
and remove trigger points, areas
that cause pain and muscle spasms.
Trigger points in your shoulders,
neck and face can cause headaches,
which my therapy effectively relieves.
My restorative massage includes
modalities and special techniques,
which include manual lymphatic
therapy, neuromuscular therapy,
muscle energy, Craniosacral therapy
and Myofascial release. Restorative
massage can remedy headaches, neck
and facial pain and tension. Manual
lymphatic therapy helps remove
waste fluids and decrease swelling.
It gently, but effectively, speeds
recovery. Neuromuscular therapy helps
break the pain cycle, calming nerves
and flushing deeper tissues. Ice and
stretches can remove trigger points
quickly without trauma and Myofascial
release loosens connective tissue tension
to release spasms and pain. My Touch
One cold laser also helps repair tissue
damage and relieves pain.
Sometimes your body needs help
regaining balance. Successful massage
therapy is not dependent on how deep
the pressure is, but on how the muscles,
tendons, ligaments, nerves and fascia
are worked to help you regain balance
and healing from within.
