Article:
Working with Migraines

Working With Headaches, Part 3
Techniques for Migraines
©Til Luchau, Advanced-Trainings.com

Hands-on work can help migraines. Multiple studies substantiate this, as does the anecdotal evidence we've witnessed in our private practices and in the stories we hear from our Advanced Myofascial Techniques seminar participants.

Even though the causes and mechanisms of migraine and cluster headaches are only partially understood (as discussed in Part 2 of this series), we've found we're often able to relieve active and acute migraines and, in many cases, can reduce their frequency when chronic.

In Part 1 of this series, we looked at how tension and other musculoskeletal headaches are different from migraines. For more common musculoskeletal headaches, our main hands-on goal is to release any myofascial tension contributing to the head pain. This is also a useful way to start when working with migraines, especially since many migraines are comingled with myofascial restrictions (and can even be triggered by a tension headache). In the case of migraines, there is an additional step we can take. Once fascial restrictions have been released, our primary hands-on goal for working with vascular headaches becomes reducing cranial compression.

Costa Rica Retreat:
An Unbelievable Training Experience!

"There was not a single negative... I have absolutely no complaints.. the instructors were incredible, location perfect, classes had just the right amount of info, no guilt felt if a class was missed, you even did a great job with the weather!"

-Shizuko Aizeki, LMT New York

The reviews are in and our "Secrets of the Spine" tropical retreat was a huge success! Attendees experienced Howler Monkey alarm calls, Olive Ridley Sea Turtles laying their eggs, surfing, kayaking, salsa dancing, zip-line canopy tours and of course our famous Advanced Myofascial Techniques -- all on the beautiful beaches of Costa Rica. Check our Facebook page and photo site for views of the event and be sure to look for our 2012 retreat announcement. We hope you can join us!
