  • One of my favorite remedies for stress and tension is scalp massage. In addition to feeling great, scalp massage can be highly beneficial for headache pain, including tension headaches and migraines. Scalp massage can also help to relax the facial muscles and reduce jaw tension. Follow along with me as we practice some easy but effective ways to self-massage the scalp.

Your massages are so soothing and your voice is calming. I found one of your videos as I had what I was told was a migraine, then a sinus infection so was looking for something to help.

I pray massaging my scalp will help. I know I have to do it regularly...maybe a few times a day. A hot shower helps my hips/leg a little as well as a couple glasses of wine (preferably red). Will definitely try the head massages. 🙏

    Does this help with neuropathy nerve pain? Like reducing some burning pain on body ? Massaging points on the top of the skull does feel like a melting effect ❤ do you recommend scalp massage after an any head or scalp trauma to help heal?

    • @rachelrichardsmassage9660
      @rachelrichardsmassage9660  10 месяцев назад

      It really depends on the cause of the neuropathy. Nerves take a very long time to repair when they're damaged. Massage can help with releasing muscles, fascia, and calming the nervous system after a head injury, but make sure you get your physician's consent.

    Hi Rachel I’m just wondering if it’s okay for the top of my head to get a bit of a burning sensation after this, my scalp has been tight for several months now so I’m assuming that is why?

    • @rachelrichardsmassage9660
      @rachelrichardsmassage9660  Год назад

      Good question, Kirsty! It's normal for an area to feel warm after local massage because the blood vessels beneath the skin dilate, bringing more blood to the surface. You can see this if you rub or scratch your arm - the area turns pink. It is also common to feel a tingling sensation after massaging the scalp, as a result of blood flow, neural activity, and release of tension.
