Tension Headache Exercises. Stress Headache Relief in 4 Minutes.
Tension Headaches can respond quickly to the right type of exercises. The key is to massage the tight skull muscles, stretch the neck muscles (the suboccipital muscle especially), and mobilise any neck joints that are stuck. (Restricted spinal joints can cause the muscle tension.) If you use the right exercises, you can get remarkably quick headache relief. In chronic cases you can do these tension headache exercises daily, and use them as prevention. Watch until the end to see what the 3 most common causes of tension headache are too.

-------------------------
***NOTE*** Just be aware that there’s other types of headaches—like migraines, cluster headaches, and more serious causes—so don’t do any exercise that hurts, just do a bit to start to see how you respond, and see your doctor if pain persists.
---------------------
1. SUBOCCIPITAL MASSAGE
A huge amount of neck muscles attach to the base of the skull, and the nerves that supply your head with pain sensation pass through these muscles, so tension in these muscles can irritate the nerves and cause headaches.
2. JAW CLENCHING MASSAGE
The Temporalis muscle, is a jaw clenching muscle on the side of your head and can often get tight due to jaw tension.
And the Masseter muscle, the main muscle the closes the jaw, can be very tender if you have been clenching your jaw without realising it.
3. WALL NODS
This nodding motion mobilises the neck joints, and stretches the neck muscles that get tight due to forward head posture & looking down at devices all day.
4. SIDE BEND STRETCH
This side stretch releases the neck joints in a different direction, and stretches the muscles running up the side of your neck. (Like the SCM, Upper Traps, Levator Scapulae)
5. PNF RELEASE
“Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation” is a great way of releasing any upper neck joints that might be irritating the occipital nerves, and relaxing the neck muscles.
