Avoid Having Tension Headaches By Doing This 馃く
Tension headaches are often caused by tightness in the neck and upper back muscles.
Using a lacrosse ball on the upper trap or at the base of the skull can help relieve this tension and prevent headaches from forming. Focus on pressing the ball into these areas for a few minutes daily to release any knots and tightness that may contribute to head pain. You will know you鈥檙e in the right spot when you feel it refers the same pain you get with your headaches. 馃憣
In addition to soft tissue work, neck stretches are highly effective for reducing tension headaches. Gentle side-to-side neck stretches and chin tucks can help lengthen and relax the muscles around your neck and shoulders. These exercises restore the natural alignment of the neck, reducing the likelihood of future headaches.
To prevent tension headaches, it鈥檚 essential to combine soft tissue work with strengthening exercises.
Strengthening the muscles that support your neck, like the deep cervical flexors one of the best ways to do this is laying flat on your back, tucking your chin then lifting your head just off the ground and holding it for 10s. 馃憦
With regular practice, you can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of your headaches.
