Been a massage therapist for 22 years. All headaches are caused by severity of tension in neck, causing blood flow blockage. Nervous system factors, ie: hormones, stress, sinus, sleep deprivation, etc. are triggers, that can be the final factor that increases the nervous system sensitivity which can trigger a headache, but will only trigger if there is too much blocked blood flow. The only difference between tension and Migraine headaches, is that Migraines have a greater severity of tension, causing the blood flow blockage to be more severe. Men in general have less headache pain, due to the fact that men have a higher muscle to body mass ration, making them more structurally sound, where the shoulders and neck are stronger, and don't create as much tension in neck, allowing blood flow to move more easily through. I would be glad to demonstrate my findings to any doctor interested.

Would weight lifting help?
