How to Get Rid of a Bad Headache—Naturally

If you're wondering how to get rid of a bad headache without relying on pills, the answer may lie in self-myofascial release.

Combined with hydration, posture correction, and breathing techniques, this can form a powerful treatment of headache at home.

Relieve Tension Headaches with Smart Tools

Tension headaches are one of the most common types of head pain. By using targeted pressure with the Mobilization Magic™ tool, you can relieve tension headaches at their root—tight muscles in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. This physical therapy massage tool is designed for deep pressure release, mimicking the effect of a physiotherapist’s elbow.

What a Physiotherapist Says

“I have found this Treating Headaches to be very effective in my daily work as a physiotherapist treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. The innovative design allows the tool to be used on all myofascial regions of the body that can succumb to tightness and pain. Pressure can be easily adjusted by orientating the tool in a different position or the placement of towels on either side of the tool. Clinically, I found significant improvements in hamstring and groin tightness after using the tool consistently. Overall, the design and quality of the tool makes it superior to using traditional foam rollers and spikey balls as it provides greater versatility in treating different musculoskeletal issues, provides optimal pressure and adjustability.”
