How Massage with Charese Peterson Can Help Relieve Head Pain: Natural Relief for Migraines and TMJ

If you’ve ever experienced migraines or TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction, you know how disruptive head pain can be. While medical treatments and medications play an important role, many people are turning to holistic approaches like massage therapy to complement their care.

At Omni salon + wellness, we’re proud to offer therapeutic massage with Charese Peterson, a skilled massage therapist who specializes in helping clients find relief from head, neck, and jaw pain. Whether you’re living with chronic migraines or struggling with TMJ discomfort, Charese’s thoughtful, tailored approach can make a meaningful difference.
Let’s explore how massage with Charese can support your well-being and help ease migraine and TMJ symptoms.

Massage for Migraines: Relaxing Tension and Easing Pain 
Migraines are more than “just headaches”—they’re often accompanied by throbbing pain, nausea, light sensitivity, and more. For many people, migraines are triggered or worsened by muscle tension, stress, or poor posture, especially around the neck and shoulders.
Charese uses a combination of techniques designed to:
✅ Reduce muscle tension – By targeting tight muscles in the neck, shoulders, and scalp, Charese helps release built-up tension that can contribute to migraine pain.
✅ Promote relaxation – Massage with Charese encourages the body to shift out of “fight or flight” mode, reducing stress hormones and increasing feel-good endorphins.
✅ Improve circulation – Enhanced blood flow to the head and neck can help decrease inflammation and support healing.
✅ Release trigger points – Charese is trained in identifying and addressing trigger points—tight spots in the muscles that refer pain to the head and temples.
Many clients report fewer headaches and a greater sense of calm after receiving regular massages from Charese. It’s a natural, non-invasive way to care for your nervous system and reduce stress, two major factors in migraine management.

Massage for TMJ: Releasing Jaw Tension and Supporting Recovery
TMJ dysfunction affects the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. It can cause jaw pain, headaches, earaches, clicking or popping in the jaw, and difficulty chewing. Stress, teeth grinding, and muscle tension often contribute to these symptoms.
Charese offers specialized techniques to help ease TMJ discomfort, including:
✅ Releasing tight jaw muscles – Through targeted massage of the jaw, neck, and surrounding muscles, Charese helps reduce tension in the areas most affected by TMJ.
✅ Reducing pain and inflammation – Massage increases blood flow to the jaw, promoting healing and helping to flush out built-up toxins.
✅ Easing related headaches and neck pain – Charese takes a holistic approach, addressing connected areas like the neck and shoulders for comprehensive relief.
✅ Improving jaw mobility – By softening tight muscles, massage can make it easier and less painful to open and close the mouth.

Is Massage with Charese Right for You?
Massage is a powerful complement to medical care, though it’s not a replacement for medical treatment. If you experience sudden, severe headaches or neurological symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. If your migraines or TMJ discomfort are related to muscle tension, stress, or postural issues, massage therapy with Charese may help reduce the frequency and intensity of your pain. Regular sessions can also provide an opportunity to rest, reset, and reconnect with your body.
