Why Concussion-Related Symptoms Are Addressed in Massage Therapy

After a head impact or injury, the body may respond with changes in soft-tissue sensitivity, tension, or protective holding patterns.

This can involve:

• the neck and upper cervical area

• the jaw, face, or surrounding soft tissues

• breathing patterns and rib-cage movement

• sensitivity with position changes or prolonged postures

These effects may be felt in one area or more broadly throughout the body.
