Headaches affect over 10 million people in the UK and are one of the most common reasons clients seek treatment. At Days Mill Treatments, we take a calm, clinical approach to understanding and reducing headache pain.

Most headaches are not caused by the brain itself, but by irritation of pain-sensitive structures around it—such as muscles, nerves, and connective tissue in the neck, shoulders, and jaw.

Common Types of Headaches

The most frequent is the tension-type headache, often described as a constant ache or tight band around the head. Migraines and cluster headaches are less common but can be more severe and debilitating.

Why Do Headaches Happen?

In many cases, headaches are multifactorial and linked to:

• Stress and overload
• Poor posture
• Lack of sleep or hydration
• Muscle tension and trigger points

The Role of Muscles & Trigger Points

Tight muscles in the neck and shoulders are a major contributor. Trigger points in areas such as the:

• Suboccipitals
• Upper trapezius
• Sternocleidomastoid (SCM)
• Splenius capitis & splenius cervicis

…can refer pain into the head, creating or worsening headaches.

How Jing Method™ Massage Helps

Jing Method™ Clinical Massage is highly effective for headache relief because it:

• Identifies and treats trigger points
• Releases deep muscle tension and fascia
• Improves movement and reduces strain on the neck
• Calms the nervous system

Most clients benefit from an initial course of 1–6 treatments, followed by maintenance sessions to prevent recurrence.

Self-Care Matters

We also guide you with simple, practical strategies—such as posture awareness and identifying triggers—to give you more control over your symptoms.

When to Seek Medical Advice

If headaches are sudden, severe, or accompanied by symptoms like confusion, weakness, or fever, it’s important to consult your GP.
