Massage Therapy for Headache Relief
13:15
Description
This course Introduces anatomy informed massage techniques commonly used to ease neck and head pain. Emphasis is placed on understanding cranial sutures, sinus areas, and neck and shoulder musculature as they relate to tension and headache.
Participants will review key anatomical landmarks with visual representations, followed by a guided demonstration of gentle, non-invasive techniques applied to the head, face, neck and shoulders. Special attention is given to safety considerations when working near lymphatic and vascular structures, including the SCM and Occipital regions.
This course is designed to be accessible to beginners as well as practicing massage therapists seeking continuing education. Techniques are presented within scope of practice and focus on comfort, communication, and informed touch rather than diagnosis or medical treatment.
