      ​@claire6074 Anxiety sufferer here and I'm right there with you. All the scary symptoms and intrusive thoughts are just keeping us in that fear loop. What I do is remind myself that I've felt whatever symptom I'm having right now before and it passed, then the body came up with some other BS symptom and it passed too. The hard part is not letting stuff continually scare us and just keep doing life anyway. Check out the disordered podcast if you are looking for help with any anxiety based stuff.

    Saw this video months ago, and ever since I have followed these steps. Now my daily tension headaches are a distant memory, and only very, very rarely do I get one that this method can't beat completely... But even then it helps reduce the pain a lot.

    Thank you! Really helpful. I've done many of these stretches before on my own, but your video helps emphasise that it isn't a quick 20 second fix.
    If I feel it more during some stretches, should that give me a clue as to which muscles are overworked?

      I used to get frequent migraines. I had bought a DVD called Yoga Zone for Healthy Back/Neck, I did it faithfully twice a day, it has 2-20 minute sessions. The headaches stopped completely for 3 years. You do have to do it every day to work. You feel amazing when done, like a full body massage! I've bought the dvd for friends/family. If you can't do some of the movements at first that's OK just do what you can, eventually it gets easier, takes a few weeks to get into the fullness of it.
