Massage for tension headaches at Andrea Massage and Spa is a focused session that targets the neck and shoulders to relieve the tightness behind tension headache symptoms. These headaches often begin at the base of the skull, fed by tight shoulders, a clenched jaw and long hours looking at a screen. Clients in Little Neck, Douglaston, Great Neck and Bayside book this session when the familiar band of pressure around the head starts showing up too often.
Your session at our Douglaston Parkway studio begins with a short conversation about where your headaches start and what tends to bring them on. Your therapist tailors the work to your needs, giving the most attention to the muscles that feel tightest. Google reviews describe the massage as very good and the therapist as professional.
Releasing the Muscles Behind the Headache
Warm strokes across the upper back and shoulders open the session. Your therapist then kneads through the trapezius, works slow holds into the suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull and finishes with light circular work over the scalp, temples and jaw. Gentle neck stretches close the work. Releasing these areas may help reduce how often tension headaches appear and leaves the neck and shoulders feeling looser.
Headache Relief at Any Hour
Andrea Massage and Spa is open 24 hours, every day, so you can book a massage for tension headaches after a long shift, on a day off or whenever the tightness builds. Call (917) 485-9799 to check availability and discuss your session. Bookings and payments are handled directly through the studio, so confirm the details with us before your visit.
