✨ Tension doesn’t stop at your shoulders!
When we think about muscle tension, we usually think about our neck, shoulders, and back—but your jaw, temples, and scalp can hold plenty of tension too.
Stress, jaw clenching, long hours at a computer, and even concentrating throughout the day can leave the muscles around your face and scalp feeling tight and fatigued. That tension can sometimes contribute to jaw discomfort, facial tightness, and tension-type headaches.
That’s why we love incorporating focused work to the scalp, temples, jaw, and face when appropriate. Sometimes giving those often-overlooked areas a little attention is exactly what your body needs to fully unwind.
💆 Next time you’re on the massage table, don’t forget about your face and scalp—they deserve some relaxation too!
