FIT TIP:
Boom, boom, boom! Headaches
by Dave Patterson, BSc (Kin) MTS
A.R. Kaufman Family YMCA Volunteer
Headaches are one of the most common causes of human discomfort. While they could be a symptom of a more serious brain disease or injury, the vast majority of headaches are caused by anxiety, stress and tension. Tension headaches are associated with persistent contractions of the muscles in the neck and upper back. This ailment often is relieved through relaxation techniques or massage. Migraines may be vascular in nature, with that nagging throb, which could last hours or even days. Much research is underway to identify contributing factors and successful treatments.
In reality, each individual may have different contributory elements involved, so it would be worth the time and effort to seek to identify these and deal with them as best we can. Sometimes relief comes through simple changes such as: dealing with emotional life stressors, improving the lighting in one's home or work environment, dealing with physical factors like blocked sinuses, eliminating foods that seem to trigger symptom onset, adding regular exercise to the weekly routine, or when necessary, seeking medical interventions. So be good to yourself.
