Relaxation to Ease Headache Pain


One easy, pleasant technique for combating the headache-promoting effects of stress is progressive relaxation. It only requires a few minutes and a comfortable chair, sofa, or patch of floor in a quiet spot away from people, phones, television, and other distractions.

Progressive relaxation consists of alternately tensing and then releasing the tension in each muscle or muscle group from one end of your body to the other. For the purposes of headache relief or prevention, you can focus on the muscles from your forehead to your shoulders. Purposely tense the specific muscle or group as tightly as you can, hold the tension for a few seconds, and finally release the tension, allowing the muscle to slowly relax. Then proceed to the next muscle or group and repeat. Try the following steps to work the headache zone.

• Scrunch up, then release, your forehead muscles (or furrow your brow).
• Squeeze your eyes tightly closed, then open them slowly.
• Make a wide smile, then allow it to fade.
• Clench your jaw, then relax it.
• Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth, then let it fall back down.
• Press your lips together tightly, then relax.
• Press your head against the floor or the back of the chair, then relax.
• Shrug your shoulders, bringing your shoulders up as close to your ears as you can, then let them fall.

JUST TRY IT OUT !!!!!
