🚩 3 headache symptoms I would NEVER ignore as a massage therapist.
Not every headache is something you should try to sleep off, stretch away or book a massage for.
And while migraines can be incredibly painful, there are certain symptoms that deserve immediate attention.

🚩 1. A sudden, extremely severe headache
I'm not talking about a headache that gradually gets worse throughout the day. I mean pain that hits you out of nowhere and becomes unbearable within seconds or minutes.
If you've never experienced anything like it before, don't assume it's just another migraine. Get emergency medical help.

🚩 2. A headache with weakness, trouble speaking or sudden vision changes
Imagine having a headache and suddenly struggling to find words, feeling weakness on one side of your body or losing part of your vision.
Some migraines can cause similar symptoms, but they can also be signs of something much more serious, including a stroke.
If these symptoms are new or sudden, call emergency services. Don't wait to see if they disappear.

🚩 3. A severe headache with fever and a stiff neck
Having a headache when you're sick isn't unusual. But a severe headache combined with a fever and a neck so stiff that moving it is difficult is a different story.
This combination can sometimes signal a serious infection that needs urgent medical attention.

Don't try to massage it away. Get emergency medical help.
❤️ I'm a massage therapist, and I love helping people feel better. But knowing when someone needs a doctor instead of a massage is just as important.
Send this to someone who tends to brush off their headaches. It might be important one day.

Your migraine is finally gone, but somehow you still feel like you've been hit by a truck. 🫠

Welcome to the migraine hangover.
And yes, it's a real thing!
It's called the postdrome phase, and it's what some people experience after the headache part of a migraine has ended.

Here's what it can feel like:
🧠 Brain fog: You read the same sentence five times and still have no idea what it says.
😴 Exhaustion: You slept, but somehow you feel like you haven't rested at all.
🥴 Feeling completely off: You might feel dizzy, sensitive to light or just not quite yourself.

And the frustrating part? This can last for hours or even a couple of days. So no, just because the headache is gone doesn't necessarily mean the migraine attack is completely over.

Your body might still need some time to recover.

❤️ Send this to someone who thinks a migraine ends the second the headache disappears.

Today I turned a client away. And yes, I'm a massage therapist. 😅

She came in with lower back pain that was travelling down her leg and getting worse around her period.
I know this kind of pain myself, so I could really relate to what she was going through.

But here's the thing: just because I've experienced something similar doesn't mean I know what's causing her pain. And sometimes, the best thing I can do for a client is NOT to massage them.

Instead, we talked. I shared some of my personal experiences with gentle movement, yoga and strength training, and encouraged her to get her symptoms checked by a healthcare professional. I also told her she'd be welcome back once we knew massage was appropriate.

Because being a good massage therapist isn't just about knowing which muscles to work on.
It's also about knowing when to stop, ask questions and put someone's wellbeing before a booking.

🛒 Going to a shopping centre with a migraine with aura?

• Bright lights everywhere
• Loud music
• Crowds
• Strong smells
• Constant movement around you

For someone with a migraine with aura, it can feel like your brain is being overwhelmed from every direction.

✨ This is one of the reasons I created my Migraine Killer Massage.

Many of my clients come to me carrying months or even years of tension related headaches and migraines.  While both can have many different causes, releasing this built-up tension often helps people feel noticeably better—many even after their very first treatment.

🤍 Living with migraines is exhausting.

You shouldn't have to plan your life around them.

🤍 She had period headaches every month... until she tried my **Migraine Killer Massage**.

Every month, it was the same story.

• Headaches
• Neck tension
• Pain that became part of her routine

She thought she just had to live with it.

✨ After her very first **Migraine Killer Massage**, something changed.

Her next period came...

And the headache never did.

No, one massage isn't a miracle cure, and headaches can have many different causes.

But many of my clients notice a significant difference after their first treatment because releasing tension in the neck, shoulders and base of the skull can make a real difference for tension-related headaches and some migraine sufferers.

🤍 You don't have to accept headaches as "just part of life."

🤍 Things becoming a massage therapist has taught me...

• Pain doesn't always come from where it hurts.

• Two people can have the exact same symptoms and need completely different treatment.

• Every body responds differently to massage, even when the problem looks identical.

• Sometimes the body is carrying months—or years—of tension before it finally asks for help.

• I've learned that listening is just as important as the massage itself.

• The hardest lesson? Separating empathy from business. When someone walks in exhausted, in pain or struggling, every part of me wants to help them, even if that meant doing it for free.

But I've also learned that I can't pour from an empty cup, and I didn't build a business to keep the lights on with good intentions alone.

• Helping people never gets old. Seeing someone leave with less pain, a deeper breath or a smile they didn't walk in with still feels just as rewarding as it did on day one.

✨ Becoming a massage therapist hasn't just changed the way I work.

It's changed the way I see people, pain and the incredible ability of the body to heal when it's finally given the right support.

😵‍💫 Most people think migraines are something they just have to live with.

• Pain behind the eyes
• Pressure at the base of the skull
• Tight neck and shoulders
• Sensitivity to light and sound
• Feeling exhausted before the day even begins

For many people, these symptoms keep coming back because no one looks beyond the headache itself.

✨ That's exactly why I created my Migraine Killer Massage.

It focuses on releasing tension around the neck, shoulders, jaw and the base of the skull—areas that are often involved in tension headaches and can contribute to migraine symptoms.

🤍 One of the things I hear most often after the very first session is:

• "My headache is gone."
• "I feel so much lighter."
• "I can finally move my neck."
• "I haven't felt this relaxed in months."

No, one massage isn't a miracle cure, and migraines can have many different causes.

But many of my clients notice a real difference after just one treatment because their body finally lets go of tension it has been holding for weeks, months or even years.
