That 2pm headache that makes it hard to think, hard to focus, hard to get through the rest of your day?
It might not be stress or dehydration. For a lot of people it’s actually coming from tension and restriction building up in the neck and upper spine throughout the day.
Here are three things you can do at your desk right now to help:
✔️ Chin tucks - resets your head position and relieves those sub occipital muscles
✔️ Upper trap stretch- releases the muscles that creep up around your ears when you’re tense
✔️ Diaphragmatic breathing- calms your nervous system and releases tension through your neck and shoulders
Try these daily and see how you feel.
If the headaches keep coming back despite doing all the right things, it may be worth getting assessed to understand what’s driving them.
