Tension headaches.
15,000+ sessions · 20 years of practice · NBSM-registered
Most tension headaches are referred pain from suboccipital muscles — a small group at the base of the skull that clamps down under stress and screen time. Release them and the headache does not need to keep generating.

What it looks like
- — Pressure headache that builds through the afternoon

Important
When we are not the fit
Headaches that are sudden, severe, with vision changes or neurological symptoms — see a doctor first, not a therapist.
After the session
Home care
Water, dim lights, early sleep that evening. Headaches often respond well to a full rest cycle after a session.
