Why Migraines Happen & How Physiotherapy Can Help 🤕

Migraines aren’t always “just headaches.” For many people, they can be linked to neck tension and joint irritation, particularly around the C3 transverse process in the upper cervical spine.

When this area becomes restricted or irritated, it can refer pain into the head — triggering migraine symptoms ⚡️

Physiotherapy can help by:
✨ Reducing tension through targeted manual therapy
✨ Improving neck mobility and posture
✨ Addressing movement patterns that may be contributing
✨ Supporting long-term migraine management

Understanding the why behind your migraines is the first step toward relief 🤍
Your body isn’t working against you — it just needs the right support 🕊️

C3 Transverse Nerve

At Restored Eden, we often talk about how interconnected the body really is, and the C3 transverse nerve is a great example of that connection.

The C3 nerve sits high in the neck and plays a role in:
• Neck and shoulder movement
• Head and jaw tension
• Posture and stability
• Nervous system signalling

When this area becomes tight or irritated, often through stress, poor posture, prolonged screen use, or tension, it can contribute to:
• Neck stiffness
• Headaches
• Shoulder discomfort
• A feeling of tightness or restriction

How pressure points and massage can help

Gentle pressure and massage around the upper neck and shoulder area can:
✨ Encourage muscle release
✨ Improve circulation
✨ Calm the nervous system
✨ Reduce tension held around the cervical spine

This isn’t about force, it’s about precision, gentleness, and listening to the body.

✨ Supporting the nervous system supports the whole body.

If you’re experiencing ongoing neck tension or discomfort, professional massage and bodywork can help address these areas safely and effectively.

Your body communicates through tension, learning to respond to it is part of wellbeing 💚

Relaxation: Necessity or Luxury?

We often treat relaxation like a reward, something we allow ourselves after everything else is done.
But relaxation isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.

At Restored Eden, we see relaxation as a vital part of whole-body health.

When the body truly relaxes, it supports:
✨ Nervous system regulation
✨ Muscle release and tension relief
✨ Hormone balance
✨ Improved circulation
✨ Mental and emotional wellbeing

Massage is one of the most powerful ways to support this process.
It helps the body shift out of “fight or flight” and into a state of rest and repair, allowing muscles to soften, breathing to slow, and stress to melt away.

Massage isn’t indulgent.
It’s therapeutic.
It’s preventative.
And for many, it’s essential.

Relaxation can still be simple:
• A few minutes of calm breathing
• Gentle stretching
• Time without screens
• Or regular massage to support ongoing wellbeing

✨ When you give your body permission to rest, it responds.

Necessity or luxury?
We know where we stand. 💚

Why Massage Matters After Anaerobic Exercise 💪

High-intensity, anaerobic exercise places a big demand on your muscles — and that can lead to lactic acid build-up, tightness and post-exercise soreness ⚡️

Massage helps by:
✨ Supporting circulation
✨ Encouraging muscle relaxation
✨ Reducing tension and stiffness
✨ Aiding recovery so your body feels ready to move again

Recovery is just as important as training. Supporting your muscles allows you to perform better, move with ease and reduce the risk of injury 🕊️

Listen to your body — rest, recover, and give it the care it deserves 🤍

3 hidden signs you’re stressed and your body needs a massage 👀

Stress doesn’t always show up as anxiety — sometimes it settles into your muscles.

✨ Constant tight shoulders or neck
✨ Poor sleep or waking up feeling stiff
✨ Frequent headaches or jaw tension

Relaxation massage helps calm your nervous system, ease muscle tension, and give your body the reset it’s been asking for.

Your body speaks before your mind does — are you listening? 💆‍♀️

✨ Real bodies. Real movement. Real solutions. ✨

In this session, Lois explains why clicking shoulders are common in taller bodies 📏💪
When shoulders naturally protract (round forward), it can lead to instability and clicking.

The focus?
🔹 Bringing the shoulders back
🔹 Improving posture
🔹 Supporting long-term shoulder health

Movement isn’t about “fixing” — it’s about supporting your body to move better 🤍
