Migraine Massage FAQ
Understanding massage therapy for migraine relief
How does massage help with migraines?
Massage therapy reduces muscle tension, improves circulation, releases trigger points, and helps manage stress — all common migraine triggers.
Can I get a massage during a migraine?
Light, gentle massage may help during mild migraines, but we recommend scheduling between episodes for prevention-focused treatment.
How often should I get migraine massage?
For chronic migraines, weekly sessions initially, then bi-weekly or monthly for maintenance once symptoms improve.
