Tension headache self-treatment technique sitting or lying down.
This video was shot in my living room to help a patient reduce her headaches over a weekend to give some relief. This is a cranial suture technique that is used in advanced therapy sessions by physical therapists and massage therapists. It can be done sitting and lying down. While typically temporary in its reduction of pain and tension, for some patients it can resolve a headache on the spot, preventing a progression to a migraine. The nuances of this technique are about slightly changing your hand position and forearm pull or push. Go slow and steady. If pain reduces then do a little more in the direction that is resolving your pain.
