Tension headache in Castelldefels
Much of that loaded-head sensation is held by the muscles of the neck, the base of the skull and the jaw. Joan Jiménez, registered naturopath (FENACO 3802), explores those structures and releases the accumulated craniofacial tension, as bodywork alongside what your health professional has advised.
Headaches can have very different causes and a health professional should assess them. This is bodywork support focused on muscle tension, not a healthcare intervention.
Signs we see in consultation
The tension that accompanies a loaded head is recognised like this:
- A sense of cranial pressure or load at the end of the day.
- Tension rising from the neck and the base of the skull.
- Hardened muscles in the forehead, temples and jaw.
- Discomfort that sharpens with sustained demand or screen hours.
- A need to press the area for relief.
What we usually find
Craniofacial tension is often linked to the muscles of the neck, the base of the skull, the jaw and the scalp. The habit of clenching the teeth, sustained postures and ongoing demand keep that tissue contracted.
As those muscles are released, many people describe less cranial pressure. Bodywork focuses on that tissue, always as support and with prior assessment by a health professional to rule out other causes.
Approach and method
Joan explores the cervical muscles, the base of the skull, the craniofacial area and the temporomandibular joint, which usually work together in producing that sense of cranial load.
On that reading he applies delicate, precise manual work aimed at gradually releasing the tissue. Intensity is always matched to how this especially sensitive area responds.
An integrative service, not just a massage
Joan does not work with a single technique. Depending on what the assessment shows, he combines TNDR integrative massage in one session with decontracting work, facial and TMJ work, foot reflexology, biomagnetism, reiki or Access Bars. The combination is decided case by case, with no closed protocols.

The consultation in Castelldefels
The session does not start on the table, but by listening. First we go through what you notice, since when and in which situations it appears; then a manual assessment reads the state of the tissue and locates where the load is actually held.

No protocols or fixed timings: we work what needs working.

The technique that works it
The service designed for this concern.
A specialized manual therapy focused on releasing high tension accumulated in the facial, cranial, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) muscles. Ideal for relieving physical pain caused by daily stress and restoring the natural mobility of the jaw.
A high-precision manual naturopathic approach combining targeted tissue exploration through touch with the dissolution of painful knots and lines. Designed to address the root cause of bodily dysfunction, this method releases accumulated psycho-physical blockages within the tissue structure and activates the self-regenerative capacity of interconnected body systems.
Worth reading before you come
The temporomandibular joint works all day. When it overloads, the chain runs up to the skull and down to the neck.
The Natural Unblocking Regenerating Technique starts from a concrete idea: tissue keeps a record of what happens to the body, and that record can be felt by hand.
