Headaches & Migraines
Acupuncture and precise pressure point therapy, offered for short-term relief from tension headaches and migraines.
Short-term relief, with a calm approach to the whole picture
Headaches and migraines can disrupt focus, mood, sleep, and quality of life — often leaving people stuck in a cycle of short-term relief.
Current guidance recognises acupuncture as offering short-term relief for tension headaches and migraines specifically. This treatment combines that with hands-on work across the face, scalp, jaw, neck, and shoulders, where tension is often felt alongside head pain.
How this treatment works
Working with tension around the head and neck
Tension in the neck, jaw, and scalp — often made worse by stress, posture, or screen use — commonly sits alongside headaches and migraines.
- Aims to ease tension in the neck and shoulders
- Gentle work across the jaw and face
- A calm, unhurried approach

Targeted pressure applied across the face, scalp, jaw, neck, and shoulders is intended to bring some noticeable ease during the session itself.
