Muscle tension and Trigger Points could be causing your headaches and migraines
Symptoms such as:
👉🏼 Pain around the ear
👉🏼 Pain behind the eyes
👉🏼 Pain Across the forehead
👉🏼 Ringing in the ear
👉🏼 Red, watery eye
👉🏼 TMJ (Jaw pain)
Can all be a sign of trigger points in the head and neck muscles
Trigger points are areas of muscle that get stuck, (there is a technical definition but ‘stuck’ seems appropriate and easier to digest 😄)
When an area of muscle gets stuck, the muscle can’t function as it should, blood and nutrients are restricted to that area, and pain can be felt in that area, but also, it can refer pain to other areas
☝🏼 One thing to note, a lot of the time where you’re feeling pain isn’t where it originates from
Trigger points have a characteristic pain pattern for each muscle, which helps us therapists identify which muscle, or quite often, muscles, are causing the issue
And once you get a trigger point in one muscle, you can get a domino effect where they pop up in surrounding muscles too.. oh how we love trigger points ‼️
I’ll do a separate post on them soon to explain in more detail
But I’m here to hunt these pesky points down and help relieve your symptoms
I’m pretty booked up over the next couple of weeks but there are a couple of spaces in Boughton Monchelsea
With days, evenings and Saturdays available
Just an fyi - I only offer a certain number of spaces per week, once they’re booked I block out any remaining spaces
If you have any questions please ask
Abbie 😌🤲🏼✨
