Amy’s Headaches: A Case Study
Amy is 36years old and is a Lawyer. For as long as she can remember she has been suffering with chronic headaches and occasional migraines. She has never sought help for them before but it is now affecting her work life and wants to get it sorted.
After consulting with her GP she was advised to try sports massage. Amy had never had sports massage before so had no idea what to expect.
The sports massage therapist noticed she had a lot of tension in her neck and Amy admitted she held all of her stress in her neck and shoulders (as most people do). The sports massage therapist explained that a course of treatment would reduce the neck tension which should definitely reduce the headaches. They also said there are some self-help tips that Amy can do at home to prevent a headache spiralling into a migraine.
