Foam Roll Angels for Tension Headache Relief

Posted on June 25, 2017 by Steffen Toates • 2 Comments

A common source of tension headache are the muscles around the neck and shoulders. Two common culprits are the suboccipital muscles (the small muscles at the base of the skull) and the upper traps (which sit on top of your shoulders). When irritated these muscles can refer pain around the temples and behind the eyes – the typical pattern for a tension headache.

“I first attended due to pain in my lower back that I had had for over a year. It was my last resource, as I had tried a lot of things before but it was definitely the best thing for me. I felt listened to and taken seriously and I’m now more or less pain free. I can now do all the things I like again, like dancing and walking. That’s just great!
