Headache

Muscles of Head

Description

The muscles of the head include those that control facial expressions, move the eyes, aid in the structural integrity of the ears, permit mastication (i.e., chewing), aid in speech, and maintain the structural integrity of the nasal and oral cavities. The muscles of the face are highly variable and may be absent. For descriptive purposes, the muscles are arbitrarily divided into the following six groups:

- extra ocular muscles;

- muscles of auditory ossicles;

- facial muscles;

- masticatory muscles;

- muscles of tongue;

- muscles of soft palate.

Headaches related to stress or mood disorders

Anxiety, stress, and mood disorders can trigger headaches that linger for more than a day. Specifically, those with panic disorder or generalised anxiety disorder tend to experience prolonged headaches more often than those without.

Unexplained or general headaches

For unexplained, ongoing headaches, you may be able to manage or ease your symptoms at home through comfort measures, rest, and responsible use of medication.


Massage therapy can ease muscle tension that contributes to headaches, or you can perform self-massage techniques at home. Let's try self-massage therapy and rolling using the main part and arch of the set of wooden pillow by Unusually Usual ( take a look at the video and photos show on the Benefits page of the site).

‍Tension headaches. Tension headaches are mild to moderate dull headaches that typically affect the forehead. While neck tension can cause tension headaches, tension headaches can also cause neck pain and tenderness. For example, both tension-type headache and migraine headache are associated with chronic muscle tension in the area of the shoulders, neck and head. Here, the self-massage therapy and rolling using the main part and arch of the set of wooden pillow by Unusually Usual are very useful also ( take a look at the video and photos show on the Benefits page of the site).
