Why pressing head feel good when I have a headache?

I can get a lot of tension and migraine headaches. Sometimes, the only (temporary) thing that helps is to have someone squeeze your head. I know it sounds weird, but the pain goes away. What is the science behind it? Why is this happening?

This happens because you are putting pressure on the nerves and muscles in your head. Acupressure is an effective and efficient way to apply this pressure. There are several points on the head, face, neck and hands that are very useful to get relief from headache. You can find detailed instructions on how to relieve headaches with acupressure here: http://www.ehow.com/how_4921355_relieve-tension-headaches-acupressure.html
