Headaches and migraines

Tension in the muscles at the base of the skull (called the suboccipital) and the upper traps can contribute to headaches and migraines, especially if there are trigger points present.

People with a rounded upper body and a forward head posture are typically more susceptible to tension in the neck and traps, and may also hold lots of tension in their chest muscles (like the pec minor).

If tension in these areas is contributing to your headaches or migraines, here's how our products can help.

Range: releases tension in the upper traps, suboccipital, neck, and chest muscles; can also be used on other areas in the upper and lower body.

Postural or alignment issues in the upper body can also be impacted by what is happening lower in the body. If the hips and pelvis are twisted, that impacts the alignment of the spine all the way up to the head and neck area.

Mark: releases the iliacus and psoas muscles with precise pressure, restoring alignment of the front of the hips and pelvis
Orbit: releases the piriformis and other deep hip rotators in the glute region with broad pressure, restoring alignment of the back of the hips and pelvis
Band: helps strengthen key muscles around your core, glutes, and hips to create stability around better alignment

Book: Our Founder's book Tight Hip, Twisted Core - The Key to Unresolved Pain offers deeper insights into muscle tension and how it is impacting your pain, helping you understand how to address the root cause.

When used consistently over time, the Aletha Health products support less muscle tension, better alignment, and increased strength & stability. This combination has helped many people improve their headaches and migraines, and we hope it will help you too.
