HEADACHES

They can vary widely in intensity, duration, and frequency, ranging from mild and occasional to severe and chronic. Headaches can be classified into several types, including tension headaches, which typically result from muscle tension and stress, and migraine headaches, which are often accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances. Other types of headaches may be triggered by factors such as dehydration, poor posture, lack of sleep, or underlying medical conditions.

• Alleviating pain and tension in the head, neck, and shoulders
• Identifying and addressing contributing factors such as muscle imbalances or poor posture
• Improving posture, mobility, and muscle function
• Providing relaxation techniques and stress management strategies
• Preventing future headache episodes through education
