    This. Is. Incredible. Even in the midst of a full-blown, light-sensitive, nausea-inducing migraine (i.e. waaaaaaay beyond the trigger point), this reduced my pain significantly and made it so much more bearable. Will definitely go straight to this next time I feel one coming on.

    I discovered this video in the middle of a migraine, so too late to perform the massage preventatively, but it definitely helped. The pain disappeared while I was doing it, but returned quickly after I finished. Not as severe though. Will edit if I have further success. Have liked and subbed. Will definitely watch this video regularly. Thank you 😊

    Amazing! It worked. I did this when I had the major trigger signs and was fully expecting a huge horrile migraine. Out of panic and despiration I tried the massage, and only got a nauseous feeling and a teeny headache after but no full blown migraine! Thank God, I hate migraines.

    @heathershaw7918 5 лет назад +131

    I'm 2hrs in to a migraine with aura, been in bed the whole time after taking medicine, having a vomit and feeling like rubbish. This helped provide relief, not totally cure the migraine but I feel quite a bit better. I already had worked out some massage techniques similar to some of them, but some are new to me and it's great to add them to my tool box!

    • @carmenmiller5701
      @carmenmiller5701 4 года назад +8

      Jaden Ward ...hi Jaden, I have suffered with migraines for the past 30 years. Just had one today and has lasted all day. I also get vision problems which typically last about 45 minutes to an hour. There are several medicines that a doctor can recommend so I suggest you talk to your medical provider and see what he suggests for you. Please try not to worry but I know sometimes that is difficult to do. Hope you feel better soon and that your doctor can help with this problem. Good luck to you🙏

    Rachel, your video relieved the onset of a migraine. I feel an amazing difference! You introduced me to relieve my own pain with my own fingers. After watching your video, I listened to migraine music on RUclips and then continued doing your exercises with some added touches to my pressure points in the head, neck, eyes area. Feeling a huge difference. Thank you so much. I subscribed to your videos. Take good care:)

    I've suffered from intense migraines since a child (in worst case, i'm bedridden for 1-2 days and cannot eat or drink without throwing it up). Now, i've had a mild headache since yesterday, i tried these movements + followed 2 other vids, and i can certainly say that it has reduced the headache from "let's stay in bed and rest all day" to "let's go for a short walk outside".
    Thank you for uploading this vid!
