How to Deal with Migraines and Headaches

This is a video about migraine headaches or just plain headaches. If you haven't watched the video about two tennis balls in the sock, please do so, because this is a wonderful device to help you in this area. This video can help you get rid of the pain created by a plain headache or a migraine headache, but to have the body adjust itself or train it out, so they don't come back on a regular basis, is another story. This video will give you the necessary tools to correct the pain part of this side effect. I say side effect because until you locate and deal with the original problem, the migraine or headaches will only go away temporarily. The thoughts and theories gathered in this video are ones that I have use on my clients who have had migraine headaches or just plain headaches. For instance, I have found that migraine headaches or plain headaches in general manifest their properties in a similar fashion. One just has more. One problem is that migraines in most cases will have compression in different areas and more severe than regular type headache problems. But essentially the set up pattern is exactly the same for both. The migraine or plain headaches, whether they are caused from allergies, tension, or almost anything else you could think of, ultimately are all caused by exactly the same condition, and that is stress. I am not just referring to emotional stress, I am referring to any form of stress. The mechanical considerations, a general overview. The body expresses or manifests a migraine or a plain headache in the same way, but how it originally sets up its pattern is another story. This can be as individual as the individual themselves. I have found that all headaches, whether they are migraine or otherwise, the pain part is caused due to a muscular problem. The headache or migraine, generally speaking, and in the early stages, are more specifically located and involve the muscles that have clamped down in or around the neck area. I say generally speaking, because in my experience the longer the migraines or plain headaches have had a chance to stay in the body, the more memory it has. The more ground it will cover. The more of your body will be involved. The more training you will need. Meaning, the number of times you will need to release the area will increase in order to make it stick or be retrained out. This is due to adaptation and compensation processes your body naturally performs. Deal with it as soon as possible, and certainly before the two-week mark of having a condition. In actuality, there are other areas of the body that directly affect the head, either you by doing anything that will put space and flexibility in your body, such as yoga stretches, regular stretches, using two tennis balls in a sock, or by getting a therapeutic massage, all of which should specifically target these areas we will mention in a moment. If you are using therapeutic massage as a course of action, your therapist should consider and release the following muscles/areas involved. If the condition is new and before the two-week mark of having it, if it is a plain headache or a migraine that you just got, use your favorite method of release and target the muscles along the occipital ridge, which is this bump on the back of your head. You can also use two tennis balls in a sock. You may need just one application. The closer you get to the two-week mark of having a problem, the more training you will need. Meaning, the number of times you will need to release the area will increase. Your list would be to release the muscles in your chest, the muscles from your mid-back, up to your neck, shoulders, neck muscles, including the front, sides and back, your jaw muscles, and muscles on the head itself, and muscles along the occipital ridge, which is the muscles beneath the bump on the back of your head. Be sure that all of these areas have space placed back in them, and performed often enough to provide a complete retraining. When you pass the two-week mark, the more training you will need. Meaning, the number of times you will need to release the area will increase. Your list would be to release the muscles in your chest, shoulders, neck muscles, including the front, sides and back, jaw muscles, muscles on the head itself, and muscles along the occipital ridge, and to include the complete back, all the way down to the coccyx, the thighs, front and back, and sides, and all of these areas must have space placed in them and performed often enough to provide a complete retraining. If it is a chronic condition that has been in your body, either starting from the first month or having it for months, years, or decades, the more training you will need. Meaning, the number of times you will need to release the area will increase. Your list would be to release the muscles in your chest, shoulder, neck muscles, including the front, back and sides, jaw muscles, the muscles on the head itself, and muscles along the occipital ridge, and to include the complete back, all the way down to the coccyx, the thighs, the front, back and sides, your legs, Achilles' tendon, and muscles on your feet. Be sure that all of these areas have space placed in them and performed often enough to provide a complete retraining. If all of these areas are not considered, released, and trained out of the body, the problem will continue to come back. The migraines and headaches are side effects which ultimately come from some form of stress. Massage or putting space can cut the cycle and remove, or should I say, retrain the problem out of your body, that's if the original reason is muscular, due to say an impact injury, or say from an adaptation or some form of compensation. If the origin is not muscular, and being caused by other forms of stress, the origin of stress must be removed in order to stop the cycle. So these other areas that you should look at would be your emotions, spiritual, artificial, foods that you eat, or in another words, look at your body, mind, and spirit aspects of your life. Although ultimately, the origin is always stress on some level. May this help you on your journey. Thank you.
