Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Scalp Neck and Shoulders (90 min).

Yes. The focused work on the scalp, neck, and shoulders helps relieve muscle tension that commonly triggers headaches. While many clients experience reduced frequency and intensity, results vary; discuss your headache history with your therapist to tailor pressure and technique safely.

Arrive hydrated and wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the neck and shoulders. Avoid heavy hair products beforehand; brief intake forms and a short consultation will ensure your preferences and any concerns are addressed.

Therapists adjust pressure for comfort; communicate any pain or sensitivity immediately. Some deeper work may feel intense briefly, but techniques prioritize safety and relaxation to avoid lasting discomfort. We always check in and modify pressure based on your feedback.

Frequency depends on your needs: weekly for chronic tension, biweekly or monthly for maintenance. Your therapist will recommend a plan based on symptom severity, lifestyle, and response to treatment to maximize lasting relief.

Certain conditions like uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent head or neck injuries, open wounds, or contagious scalp infections may contraindicate treatment. Always disclose medical history and current medications so your therapist can assess safety and adapt techniques.

Light scalp oils or serums may be used; avoid heavy products beforehand if concerned. Hair may feel softer or slightly damp from oils; simple styling or a quick rinse at home usually restores your preferred look.
