Migraine & Barometric Pressure:

Barometric pressure is the pressure in the air or the amount of force that is being applied to your body from the air.
Because our sinuses are filled w/air, any change in that can effect headaches, or trigger a migraine.

A drop in Barometric pressure is definitely a trigger for me, & what sucks is we can’t control the weather. However, if you know storms are a trigger you have the Power to prepare. 🙌🏼

That may look like: clearing your schedule as much as possible, asking for help, getting extra rest, lowering stress levels, extra hydration, less exposure to electronics/blue light, increasing healthy foods that are known to help the body function at its best, taking supplements to help your gut function properly to help your body get through an attack, get a massage to loosen up muscles around the occipital region, exercise, anything you know will help get you and your body prepared for what may come along with a decrease in barometric pressure.

If you find yourself getting a migraine before a storm, you can consider yourself a “human barometer”, and by watching the forecast, can be intentional about managing migraines by being prepared for them. 🤍

Migraine attacks?

Here are 3 ways massage therapy can help:

1.) Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu technique focuses on pressure points along muscle lines, nerve pathways and blood vessels, along with gentle stretching.

Shiatsu has a profound effect on the nervous system, and that is why it is so effective for migraine.
When a client is having or recently had migraine symptoms, the therapist focuses first on pressure points on the head and neck, then moves to the neck and shoulders. Pressure should start lightly and increase based on the client’s tolerability. Stretching the neck is also a key technique in addressing pain stemming from this area during an attack. This can help relieve pain.

2.) Cold Stone Massage

The placement of the stones includes the area where the trigeminal nerves (found in the face and temples) and the occipital nerves (found at the base of the skull) are located. These two sets of nerves are known to cause migraine attacks if they become inflamed. The soothing coolness of the stones can help to calm these nerves. We recommend that cold stone therapy be used once a week for prevention of migraine attacks or during an active attack. This can be added to any massage service upon request.

3.) Myofascial Release

For migraine headaches, techniques such as scalp manipulation (moving the fascia that covers the skull with slight pressure through the fingertips) and trigger-point massage (pressing carefully on the tight muscles of the jaw and neck) can give great relief. Trigger points are toxins that are built up in muscles and can cause widespread nerve irritation. To get the muscles, tendons and ligaments to return to a more fluid state takes time. With myofascial release, the therapist holds a body part that is painful, and instead of pushing, pulling or digging into the tissues, he or she can allow the muscle release in their hands. These techniques can be added to any regular massage upon request.
