That headache at the back of your neck?
It might not be just stress or screen time, it could be your shoulders asking for help. đ
When tension builds in your upper back, shoulders, and neck, it doesnât always stay there.
Muscles like the trapezius and levator scapulae connect your upper body to your head, and when theyâre tight or strained, they can:
đ Trigger muscle spasms
đŤ Restrict blood flow to the back of your head
⥠Irritate nearby nerve endings
đ Create painful myofascial trigger points
The result? Tension headaches that start in your neck and wrap around your head, also known as cervicogenic headaches.
â¨The good news?
A targeted massage can release that tension, improve circulation, and ease the pain.
Taking care of yourself is the first step.
Your bodyâs been holding too much for too long. Book your next massage and feel the difference. đ https://www.aloemeintegrativehealth.com
