Thai by day
If you’re interested in trying nonpharmaceutical remedies for headache relief, it’s worth noting that researchers concluded that the benefits of Thai massage could last anywhere from several days to around 15 weeks.
A 2019 study found that shiatsu therapy combined with standard care for lower back pain improved symptoms and quality of life immediately after treatment.
Other studies have found that Thai massage reduces back pain associated with trigger points — tight, painful muscle clusters — in the upper back.
