Pain We Treat
Headaches & Migraines
Melbourne Muscular Therapies
Frustrated with headaches or migraines that spring up and interfere with your life? Sick of taking pills just to function? Tension headaches are often caused by tightness in muscles through the shoulders, neck, and head — and medication masks the problem rather than solving it.
With our treatment, we go straight to the root of the problem to unblock any stuck or compressed areas. If stress is causing your headaches, massage increases blood flow and nutrient supply to the brain — releasing tension and allowing the mind and body to reset.
If you continue to mask symptoms or tolerate the pain, issues are likely to build up and become more and more of an inconvenience. We assess the underlying cause and release tight muscles in the neck and upper back, then provide postural exercises to keep headaches away.

Our Headaches & Migraines Results
“Had an episode of a severe tension headache in the evening and got an appointment the very next day for 90 min with Elliot... He gave me excellent massages on my trigger points and explained in detail how everything is connected around my arm, shoulder, neck and head. Also showed me new helpful exercises to do at home. I left very happy, relaxed and just feeling so much better.”
“I have been seeing Vanessa for years in relation to my back, neck & headache issues. She has helped me enormously with her treatments. She is extremely knowledgeable & attentive to my issues and goes above & beyond with every treatment.”
“I suffered with chronic lower back pain from a bulging disc and it was preventing me from progressing in my exercise and strength building program. I had tried everything from chiropractic to acupuncture before I was recommended to MMT two years ago. I have since learnt that these guys are the leaders in their field and really understand how my body works. They have not only given me the pain relief that I thought would never happen, they have educated me on how to move correctly and avoid injury.”
“Amazing service. Darcy is fantastic with treatments and the lift club. There's a great level of professionalism and he is always ready to give tips and exercises to work on between treatments.”
“Highly rate these guys; been seeing Darcy for some months now and the remedial work, along with the priceless strength and conditioning exercises he gives, fits in perfectly with the professionally coached triathlon training sessions I have.”
“I had pain in my hip & knees for approximately 6 years before coming to see the guys at MMT. I'd tried all kinds of therapies including Physio & Osteo over the years and never really had results to show for the time and money spent. Not only are the guys here genuine, real and authentic but they're also amazing at what they do. Yes, it hurts sometimes but the relief after is 100% worth it.”

Common Questions
FAQ's
Most headaches are harmless and completely preventable. Prolonged sitting, lack of movement, and poor posture cause muscles in the neck to become tight and full of trigger points. These trigger points refer pain into the head, causing headaches.
Self-massage using a lacrosse ball on the back of your skull where your neck muscles start, heat creams, and increasing water consumption will all help. If symptoms persist, deep tissue massage delivers lasting relief.
Yes — emotional stress accumulates in the neck and shoulder muscles, and can trigger headaches. Regular exercise, self-massage, and movement breaks during stressful periods help manage symptoms.
Ideally weekly, with a minimum monthly frequency recommended to maintain results and prevent tension from accumulating.
