For many Americans, these attacks can last hours or days, making it difficult to work, socialize, or keep up with daily life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/migrainetrust.org\/news\/research-devastating-impact-of-migraine\/#:~:text=The%20Migraine%20Trust%20surveyed%202%2C028,the%20condition%20is%20poorly%20understood.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows millions of Americans live with migraines, highlighting their impact beyond health alone; they affect productivity, mood, and overall wellbeing.

Poor posture and muscle tension, especially around the neck and shoulders, can strain nerves and blood vessels, making the head more sensitive to pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other triggers include disrupted sleep, dehydration, and certain foods or drinks such as caffeine, alcohol, or aged cheese. Even mild changes in fluid balance or routine can set off an attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These triggers usually work together, creating a cycle of tension and vascular changes that increase migraine risk. Since massage therapy directly addresses stress, muscle tightness, and posture-related strain, it offers a natural way to interrupt that cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recognising what sets off migraines makes it easier to match them with the right massage techniques, something we\u2019ll explore next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for more ways to manage pain and recovery?
