86 Tension Headache – Muscular Treatment
About Tension-type headaches cause a dull aching pain that people describe as a band around their heads radiating to their neck. Tension headaches
are the most common types of headaches occurring among people between 20-50 years of age, and more often among women. A side effect
from frequent intake of analgetics is the risk of “rebound headache”, where the headache occurs when the analgetic dose wears off.
Treatment General activation and smoothing of surrounding muscles and connective tissue in order to get a muscular relaxation. Combine the RPW
