The agonizing pain associated with the migraine has been reported for centuries. And while many studies have been performed, migraines are a poorly understood condition affecting millions. Massage therapy has long been described as a non-invasive way to manage pain and bring about some degree of relief for the migraine sufferer.

Since migraines occur at any time of the month, and since men suffer from migraine headaches as well, these headaches can be boiled down to changes in the environment and changes in the body. |
