Massage for migraine relief at Andrea Massage and Spa is a calming session focused on the tension that often contributes to migraine discomfort. Many people who experience migraines also carry tightness through the neck, shoulders and base of the skull, and stress and poor sleep are commonly cited triggers. Clients in Little Neck, Douglaston, Great Neck and Bayside book this gentle session for support between episodes.
The session at our Douglaston Parkway studio begins with a careful conversation about your migraine pattern, any diagnosis you have received and which areas feel sensitive. Your therapist tailors the pressure and pace to your needs and keeps the room quiet and softly lit. Google reviews describe the therapist as professional, and that attentiveness matters most when the head and neck are sensitive.
Quiet, Light Work on the Neck, Scalp and Temples
Slow strokes across the shoulders and upper back settle the body first. From there, light kneading along the neck, careful pressure at the base of the skull and soft circular work over the scalp and temples ease the tension that gathers in those areas. The pressure stays light throughout. Releasing this tension may help ease discomfort and many clients find the calm carries into better rest. Massage is designed to support the care plan set by your doctor, and your therapist will adapt the session around your medical advice.

Migraines keep their own schedule, and Andrea Massage and Spa is open 24 hours, every day, so you can book when you feel ready. Call (917) 485-9799 to check availability and discuss your session.
