    Where can I get these items? Ready to make a purchase Street! I could also sign up for regular massages - In the past I got them for a neck injury that also caused migraines and she pressed a spot in my back if I noticed the migraine coming on. It just totally stopped it!! I forgot about that.
    Thank you!!!

    while massage therapy is relaxing, it can also be very rejuvenating.
    students that get massaged before tests score notably higher, so it improves concentration too.

    massage can be used to treat minor headaches and even serious migraines.

    and often we can get muscle 'knots' and headaches just by being dehydrated.

    ...for myself, I get headaches when my neck muscles are too tight.
    when I can't get in for a session, I sometimes use a wooden pillow:



    but almost any thick round object will work; baseball bat, didgeridoo, etc.
    ...also theracanes are good tools too:

    I have small headaches all through the day and have been taking Tylenol then Advil alternatively to rid them. They aren't major, but they are there. I wake up with it. My job requires major concentration and I'm starting to feel a bit dazed - I'm thinking from the Tylenol/Advil.
    Any alternatives that will not make me sleepy or lacking in concentration?
