What is Migraine mobile massage?

Mobile massage is when the massage therapist comes to your location instead of you going to theirs.

The cause of migraines vary from person to person, so slightly different techniques will be used for each individual. Gentle neck and scalp work are integral to any mobile migraine massage.

Fibromyalgia headaches - Light technique is used since the body is usually very sensitive to pressure during a fibro flare up.
Stress migraines - An emphasis of relaxation massage is used for stress migraines.
TMJ headaches - We guide you through special jaw stretches during a TMJ massage.
Whiplash headaches - The neck will be the area of focus for whiplash. Then your therapist will follow the pain to its source.

What is Migraine Massage Good for?

Migraine massage is great for almost any kind of headache. The only kind of headache massage is not good for is if you also have a fever, confusion, numbness, or other signs of a medial emergency.

It's especially good for PREVENTING a migraine before it begins. We can help you identify your triggers and avoid them.

The invitation is to undress to your level of comfort. If that means fully clothed, I can work with that. You may also be nude if you like. Cozy sheets will be used for appropriate draping the duration of the massage.

You can choose 60 minute or 90 minute massage. If you want an extra 15 minutes at the end for your head or feet, just let us know. But we'll have to charge extra for that time.

Follow Up

After the massage your therapist will go wash their hands and you may get off the table and get dressed (pajamas recommended!). The therapist then disinfects and packs up their equipment while telling you any helpful post-massage information you may need.

Mobile Migraine Massage FAQ

What type of massage is best for migraines?

Upper body massage is generally best for migraines. In a 2012 study showing massage decreased acute migraine pain by up to 69% focused mainly on massaging the neck and upper back.

There has also been research showing Thai massage is great at improving pressure threshold as well as relieving migraine pain.

If you're in the middle of a migraine episode, we can travel to you and bring our mobile massage to your quiet, dark room.

Can massages trigger migraines?

Occasionally people will get a headache after a massage. It is rarely a full-blown migraine. The headache can be caused by several different factors:

Too much pressure
Dehydration
Blood pressure changes
Positioning on the massage table
Irritants in lotion or sheets

We know many of our clients headaches are triggered by artificial fragrances, which is one reason why we use fragrance-free everything.

Massage is supposed to feel amazing. If you are uncomfortable at any point let your mobile therapist know and they will adjust to your body's needs.

What pressure points get rid of migraines?

The most common pressure points to relieve migraines are mostly found on the head and neck, as well as one in-between the thumb and pointer finger.

"The best thing"

If you hate to take medication and suffer from migraines or tension headaches, getting a mobile massage is the best thing you can do for yourself!!! I have suffered from migraines and sinus headaghes for years. I also have neck problems which causes terrible pain in my shoulders.

Bellevue Mobile Massage is always quick to come over and help me find hope.

"I don't have to live with pain"

I had suffered chronic pain in my neck and shoulders for years. Often the pain was connected to disabling headaches. I really had come to think that I would have to learn to live with the pain for the rest of my life.

I had worked with massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, and tried hydro-therapy. All of it seemed to help mitigate the symptoms, but never really got to the root.

Last night someone I had not seen in many months asked me how I was doing with my pain, and I realized, it has been almost four months since I worked with Bellevue Mobile Massage and the pain is still gone. It was such a shocking and amazing realization-- that I felt healed. That I wasn't learning to live with the pain, the pain was gone.

I would strongly encourage anyone who is experiencing pain to visit Bellevue Mobile Massage. It was a game changer for me, and it could be for you.

"Immediate Relief"

Having dealt with headaches and jaw pain for years, I was thrilled to find a LMT who specializes in this type of massage. I had a wonderful experience with Bellevue Mobile Massage - they were very attentive and understanding to my condition. I had an incredible massage and experienced immediate relief from jaw pain. I will absolutely be returning!
