Sinus headaches: Congestion from colds and allergies can bring on a nagging sinus headache. A combination of lymphatic drainage, craniosacral therapy and light cupping reduces the discomfort associated with sinus headaches.
Migraine headaches: Massage therapy addresses the throbbing pain and nausea associated with migraine headaches. A variety of massage techniques are used to reduce pain from migraine headaches.
Repetitive strain injuries
