Shiatsu is very effective in treating headaches. Before treating, I want to know:
- Where is it?
- How long have you had it?
- What does it feel like
- What are the triggers? What makes it feel better?
It is important to treat the whole body and focus on channels where the headaches lie. Generally, shiatsu treatments include head, face, neck, back, arms and legs: grasping the muscles and applying acupressure on key points such as GB 20, LI 4 and LV 3. Organs (energetically speaking), involved usually include Liver, Bladder, and Stomach. They are usually imbalanced and it is the job of your therapist to bring harmony back to your body.
An assesment is necessary to determine the type of headache you experience and how to rid yourself of them for good.
