If you’ve ever suffered from a terrible headache, whether it’s a tension headache or a sinus headache – you know that either one can be debilitating.

Most headache sufferers believe that massaging the temples is what will relieve that pain but truthfully, that may not be the answer.

Here at ABove Physical Therapy – we look very closely at the symptoms that you give us to determine what may be the cause of your headache and quite frankly, we often find that the problem stems from the jaw line area.

If that is the case then the solution is a Facial Massage.

What Are The Benefits Of A Facial Massage?

Besides being an excellent type of massage for many types of headaches – facial massages are also very helpful to improve lymphatic drainage in the facial area, temporarily improves blood flow (making your skin glow) and some even say that helps to reduce wrinkles.

We’re not sure about the wrinkles but we do know that massages are excellent for helping blood circulation and the lymphatic system in your body.

In general, massages improve the flow of oxygen to the area being massaged and when you get a facial massage then that increased oxygen helps to increase collagen production which in turn tends to give your skin (your face) a healthy, glowing complexion.

And who doesn’t want that?

Our physical therapists are highly trained in facial massage techniques and we are here to help you with your headache pain.  Call us today at 770-904-2332 for more information or to book an appointment.
