  1. Dealing With Tension Headaches? Physical Therapy Can Help.

  2. How does stress cause headaches? When tightness affects the small muscles at the base of the skull (such as the RCPM muscle in the neck) those muscles may pull on a pain-sensitive membrane in the head called the dura mater. The dura mater responds by sending out waves of pain, giving you a classic tension headache. Migraines are the most dreaded of headaches, and knowing that someone has one is sure to make you wince if you’ve ever experienced one yourself. In fact, a migraine attack may go far beyond the crushing headache it is notorious for producing, causing symptoms such as: Sound and/or light sensitivity Faintness Nausea and vomiting Visual distortions known as “auras”
