How to Release Tension for FAST MIGRAINE RELIEF

Dr. Rowe shows how to quickly release tension in muscles highly associated with migraines and headaches.
When it comes to getting migraines, a big contributing factor comes from a build up of stress, tension, and tightness in muscles that can later manifest into headaches (and more severe migraines).
This video will help release this stress and tension by focusing on individual muscle groups. To get the best results, go through all the exercises and use what gives you the most pain relief.
As a bonus, all of these exercises can be done at home and require no equipment.
Watch now for quick and long-lasting migraine pain relief!

Although I had an idea, with the eye pain, the muscles in the back of the head, neck, etc. i’ve always wondered why I feel like I had tooth aches, jaw pain when I get a migraine lately getting them around every 6 to 10 days lasting at least 3 days. My doctor said no idea why , but hers a prescription. Your excercises helped me in less than 15 mins ! Thank you so very much.

    I have been doing this splenius muscle stretch every day for a month now. I had a chronic point of pain on the back of my head which disappeared after a few days of doing the stretch and never came back. I'm having a hormonal migraine now and usually the pain is moderate, but now it's one of the most mildest migraine I've ever had. Today I was watching the morning news, they talked about tension headaches and migraines originating from the splenius muscle. I thought about Dr. Rowe, what a wonderful human being he is to share his knowledge with us.

    Yeah, NONE of that was the correct treatment! Everything in your body happens because a hormone 'told it' to happen, as Hormones are the 'top dogs' in the body, generally in charge of everything. He should have balanced your hormones instead of cutting on you, but he can make a lot more money by cutting-- and I'm sure he hasn't got the slightest idea how to balance your hormones.

    This a really good tutorial. My partner used to get migraines for 3-4 days weekly plus recovery. These headaches really made him miserable with pain, nausea and no sleep. He cannot take nsaids as he is on blood thinners so it's mostly white knuckles for a day or 3. He got off gluten which has allowed him to go months without a migraine. Now when he gets one he uses magnesium in some form or other right away to relax muscles. I could see myself giving him massage to help with the pain. This is the kind of tutorial that makes me very glad I subscribe to this channel.

After suffering with migraines most of my life, and well-intentioned doctors who tried to offer relief, I finally got proactive on discovering my TRIGGERS and a referral to a neurologist who gave me a preventative medication while I adjusted my life-style. I also found counseling very helpful for addressing the anxiety and depression that are a perfectly NORMAL response to chronic intense pain. I hope you find relief SOON! ❤

    I've had cluster headaches (sharp acute pain behind and above left eye) for years before they were discussed on the internet. They went away for some years since 2015 and have recently returned. As an engineer, I'm very observant. This time around, I'm seeing relationship between stress, occipital nerves and muscles, sinuses, and possible jaw shifts back into place, due to ortho braces I had installed. This time I will look forward to trying strength training on my neck and shoulders, since bilateral pain often uncovers weakness in opposite muscles.

Never knew what caused them but I thought it was related to my left eye since it always came from there. I tried paracetamol, tried to relax in the dark with migraine relief music, tried to stay in a silent room and nothing really worked. I tried your exercises one night and IT WORKED! I do the first exercise everytime I sense a migraine is coming and it really works, I can feel how the muscle is tense and painful when I massage it and how I get better afterwards.

    I was looking up videos to try to help my relief. And I can’t wait to try these when I am home from work tonight after reading all these comments. Here is my story: I always thought that I knew what a migraine was I have had headaches off and on a lot the past few years. I now know that the headaches I was experiencing were nowhere near a migraine. I started getting pretty bad headaches at the beginning of November. Also, around the same time bye was having toothache problems. After looking around at some stuff online, I found out that having to have a root canal can also cause a migraine or a headache. I haven’t been to the dentist in a long time. Not really for any specific reason, it had just been a long period of time since I went. To make a long story short, I got my root canal done and felt OK for a couple of days. And then the headaches came back and they’ve gotten worse and have been horrible ever cents. I couldn’t enjoy Thanksgiving, my boyfriend and I’s anniversary, or Christmas. This is the first migraine I’ve ever experienced, and it hasn’t stopped cents. I’ve been to many different doctors, and they all tried to give me different things to help. No one can find the source of the migraine. Around this time in November, I did have a job transition and a lot of changes so some doctors related this to stress. But I never knew stress could cause this much pain. And after going to see a ear nose and throat doctor, she let me know that she thinks that I have what is called a vestibular migraine. no fluid in the ears which is good but I do get on and off dizziness and I am sensitive to smells bright lights, etc. I got the paperwork on a vestibular migraine and I feel like my whole world changed. I had to take into account, food triggers, And other things that I never thought about. I’m not sure that it is food related because again I’ve never had this problem but at this point I would try anything. So I have been on an elimination diet and eating foods that are only good for migraines, and nothing that can potentially trigger it and that hasn’t helped yet. I was told to try vitamin B2 and B12 which I take daily. I have also seen that magnesium helps so I take that at night two hours after I take nortriptyline. I was hesitant to try nortriptyline because of all the symptoms that I’ve heard. For a while, it definitely did help, but I am on two months of taking it 10 mg and I feel like it stopped working. My doctor did suggest upping the dosage to 20 mg, as your body can get used to it, and that affects the success of the medication. But again I’m hesitant to upped the dosage because of the potential symptoms. I guess it’s just frustrating because I have never had a migraine before, I am 27 years old. I am relatively healthy and have never had any other health problems. I even was so scared about this happening that I got blood work done and a MRI to make sure everything was fine. My bloodwork showed borderline cholesterol problems and low iron but for the most part everything came back normal. Same for the MRI, everything came back normal. so on paper nothing is wrong medically in those regards. So bottom line is I’m just trying to figure out the root cause of the problem. My insurance doesn’t specifically have chiropractors but I have heard that they work wonders so I would love to try to find one to see if it could work for me. my insurance also doesn’t allow me to see a neurologist until you have tried three different medication’s for at least 2 to 3 months each. But for me, I would like to not just keep taking medication’s and just find the root of the problem. Each day is just so disheartening and hard and I just want relief. Any advice or words would be great. Cannot wait to try these exercises when I get home tonight. Also side note: I have bought everything suggested that I have found on TikTok to help with migraines. So as I stated before I have tried B2, B12, magnesium, ginger root, those head caps that you put in the freezer, a eye mask massager, I’ve tried at all.

    Something possessed me to read your story! The part about “3 meds for 2 or 3 months each before approval of a neurologist” should be classified as malpractice. I’ll tell you up front that I have a strange form of migraine without pain but these migraines are still incapacitating for about 48 hours. I don’t go to doctors, so little by little I’m learning what to do about the migraines. I head straight for bed with heat packs on my feet and a cold pack on my neck, and then move the cold pack to wherever it feels good. Keeping hydrated with electrolyte water is very important (bottled mineral water has electrolytes). Also watch for triggers like stress, and low blood sugar (which happens if you skip meals). I hear birth control pills can cause migraines. Nerves love B vitamins. A wonderful source of well balanced B vitamins is Nutritional Yeast (flakes are better than powder) and you can mix it with food. When I do it right I take Nutritional Yeast every day of the month. I see you already take magnesium. I take Alka-Seltzer Gold right away at the start of a migraine, and every two hours and drink extra water with it. Alka-Seltzer gold is nothing more than a fancy form of baking soda but the body loves it (another research topic!). Take salt (NOT potassium. See Dr. Berg video "use more salt to fix migraines"). You can do more research on any of this. Search KZread for “Dr. Eric Berg migraine”. Look up how to do acupressure at the base of your thumb or other acupressure advice. I’m disappointed that I still get them so often but at least I have my “rules” and all these make getting through the migraine easier. Here’s something I just dug up from my memory banks!! My friend had great success with cayenne (which I will have to try too!). The internet says “Cayenne pepper is actually very good for helping to rid migraines. It contains the natural healing compound, capsaicin.” You can research this too and you will see it comes in pill and liquid form and cream and gel. Keep searching! 🙏

    Wow! I have had migraines for more than 20 years and I so wish I had found your videos and info before today. Better today than never! These stretches perfectly target those tight and tender spots enflamed by migraine pain, especially those last two for the traps! Heaven! Thank you!❤

    What is this wizardry? Feeling the beginning of a migraine, I stumbled upon this video, and, although I can't say the pain has completely gone, I can bear to look at my phone screen enough to type this. Usually it'd be a pitch black, silent room and a bowl in case I vomit by now. Thank you so much

    I got this video recommended today and hope to find solace with these exercises. I’m 31 and have been having on and off migraines since I was 11 years old. But lately it’s getting quite serious. In the last 40 days I had 7 migraine attacks ( I see aura and experience partial loss of vision in the region where aura appears. Aura usually lasts around 15-20 minutes and a terrific headache ensues that normally lasts for 1-2 days). Two of these happened at an interval of just 40 minutes. This has been affecting my quality of life and mental health. I’m definitely going to try these and will update how it works for me later 👍🏽
