Soft Tissue Mobilizations as a Treatment for a Tension-Type Headache
Journal Title: Annals of Musculoskeletal Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: A tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common form of a headache. The complex interrelation among the various pathophysiological aspects of TTH might explain why this disorder is so difficult to treat. Manual therapy is considered one of the main treatments for TTH. Massage therapy techniques, which act in part to increase blood fl ow to tissue, may reduce the activity of myofascial trigger points. Thus, it is possible that headaches originating from this etiology may be reduced with soft tissue mobilizations.
