Exercises for Tension Headache
These exercises allow you to release and regain control of the muscles in your face, neck, chest, and shoulders.
When practiced daily, the exercises will release the chronic muscle tension that contributes to and causes tension headaches.
Please do the exercises extremely slowly and gently, as instructed,
and do not do them if you feel pain or discomfort.
