💡 Did You Know?
Cluster headaches are one of the most painful headache disorders, often striking suddenly and repeatedly over weeks or months.
Possible contributing factors may include:
• Dysfunction of the hypothalamus (the body’s internal clock)
• Nervous system overstimulation
• Neck, shoulder, and upper back tension
• lack of oxygen to the brain
• Disrupted sleep patterns or circadian rhythms
While massage does not cure cluster headaches, many people find that therapeutic massage can:
• Help reduce neck and shoulder tension
• Support nervous system regulation
• Promote deeper rest and relaxation between attacks
• Improve overall quality of life during clusters
🧠💆♀️ Managing pain is not one-size-fits-all — compassionate, supportive care matters.
