Many of my clients book sessions with me because of migraines, sinus or chronic headaches. Massage with hydrotherapy proves to be an excellent form or treatment for these types of headaches.
However, it is important that those over 50 especially pay close attention to reccurring headaches as they may be signs of more serious health issues. According to The Mayo Clinic, the following headache symptoms should be cause to seek immediate medical attention:

A sudden and severe headache, often called a thunderclap headache, because it comes on suddenly like a clap of thunder.
A headache accompanied by a fever, stiff neck, rash, mental confusion, seizures, vision changes, weakness, numbness, speaking difficulties, scalp tenderness or pain with chewing.
A headache that begins or worsens after a head injury.

These headache symptoms may be caused by stroke, blood vessel inflammation (arteritis), meningitis, brain tumor, aneurysm or bleeding on the brain after head trauma.
