Teeth grinding! I know you addressed the jaw in this one, but wondering if there are any more that can be done to release whatever it is that triggers grinding.
I’ve had migraines for as long as I can remember. I’ve been diagnosed with migraines, tension headaches, cluster headaches, sinus headaches, everything you can imagine. I wish someone would have showed me these sooner! Nothing is worse than a migraine and these stretches help so much!
This is the first time I’ve heard migraines explained! and what muscles are involved. Although I had an idea, with the eye pain, the muscles in the back of the head, neck, etc. i’ve always wondered why I feel like I had tooth aches, jaw pain when I get a migraine lately getting them around every 6 to 10 days lasting at least 3 days. My doctor said no idea why , but hers a prescription. Your excercises helped me in less than 15 mins ! Thank you so very much.
I 've just wanted to say that with these exercises you gave some relief to a little kid who is suffering from migraines for 4 years now. Really appreciate it!
I am a RN who struggles with migraines as well as Fibromyalgia. These exercises, as well as those on your other videos, are helpful overall for muscle and nerve pain. Thank you.
I wrote a comment three hours ago. I had a splitting headache in the exact muscles you are demonstrating. Three hours ahead and my headache is completely gone. I did the exercises with you. I'm in Oregon. Can't thank you enough!!!!!
If I gently massage those muscles at the back of my skull, I get nauseous, and the only relief is vomiting. which, in turn, makes the pounding headache worse. Vomiting does relieve the nauseous felling, but no relief from the headaches.
This a really good tutorial. My partner used to get migraines for 3-4 days weekly plus recovery. These headaches really made him miserable with pain, nausea and no sleep. He cannot take nsaids as he is on blood thinners so it's mostly white knuckles for a day or 3. He got off gluten which has allowed him to go months without a migraine. Now when he gets one he uses magnesium in some form or other right away to relax muscles. I could see myself giving him massage to help with the pain. This is the kind of tutorial that makes me very glad I subscribe to this channel.
When I was in the navy, it seemed MDs (well, officers in general) tended to look down on we junior enlisted. Wartime medicine, I spoze. I was stricken by a migraine attack once (1970s) when I went to medical (I had never had a migraine before) and the MD who saw me actually took the time to explain to me what was happening. I find it amazing that much of what she told me about what we knew about migraines back then .... is repeated here. Thank you very much!!
That was the only one that really did anything for me. It really cut down the pain a lot. I was pretty amazed because usually this sort of stuff doesn't work much.
I have been doing this splenius muscle stretch every day for a month now. I had a chronic point of pain on the back of my head which disappeared after a few days of doing the stretch and never came back. I'm having a hormonal migraine now and usually the pain is moderate, but now it's one of the most mildest migraine I've ever had. Today I was watching the morning news, they talked about tension headaches and migraines originating from the splenius muscle. I thought about Dr. Rowe, what a wonderful human being he is to share his knowledge with us.
I also have pain from the shoulder down to my arm feels like I always need to have a fist and cannot open it up when I have migraine. Is there any exercise can stretch the arm too?
The best thing you can do is pay attention to what you ate within the last 24hrs, as you move along in detoxing, the headache will sooner after you ate, until its almost immediate. Detoxing is the most important part of the healing process and unless you smacked your head, headaches come from food.
Those stretches in the neck seem to aggravate my super tight muscles. The relief I get is when I stop.😩 I did the temple massage and noticed there a teeny muscles that are sooo tight! Ugh. My head had hurt all over for days after a severe vestibular migraine that lasted nearly five days. Bleh
You are amazing! Thank you so much, again! There's been so much work and stress lately and my head has been killing me. Sometimes painkillers don't even help. But your methods always do. Thank you for your work! I hope you had a great Christmas. 🌲
Painkillers don't help me either. Every time I do any arm/shoulder exercises at the gym, I get debilitating migraines. I've shared this video with others 🙂
My brain is aware that your videos result in happiness and now as soon as you start talking my whole body starts to relax even when I didn’t know it was tense!❤❤❤
another chronic migraines patient here, just in the middle of my 12th migraine for this month. My mental health is pretty down these days but just wanted to let you know that your video is helping me significantly! Thank you, Dr. Rowe!
Bless your heart! Of course your mental health is affected 😮 If you don't have access to healthcare, please ask for help. Because no one should suffer like that! After suffering with migraines most of my life, and well-intentioned doctors who tried to offer relief, I finally got proactive on discovering my TRIGGERS and a referral to a neurologist who gave me a preventative medication while I adjusted my life-style. I also found counseling very helpful for addressing the anxiety and depression that are a perfectly NORMAL response to chronic intense pain. I hope you find relief SOON! ❤
Hi, I don't comment often but I just wanted to thank you for this video. I've had migraines for as long as I remember (I'm 27), sometimes several days in a row. Never knew what caused them but I thought it was related to my left eye since it always came from there. I tried paracetamol, tried to relax in the dark with migraine relief music, tried to stay in a silent room and nothing really worked. I tried your exercises one night and IT WORKED! I do the first exercise everytime I sense a migraine is coming and it really works, I can feel how the muscle is tense and painful when I massage it and how I get better afterwards. Thanks again for this, it's going to change my life !
This felt so good! I love how there were familiar exercises, but done a bit differently than what I'm used to. And what a difference it made! The last one was really amazing, I haven't found any good way to tackle the pain in the front neck muscles. But this one finally hit the spot!!! Yay! I cannot be the only one with stiff and sore muscles all around the neck, front included. I don't understand why it's assessed more often.
I have hemiplegic migrain since I was 10 years old and now I'm 33 years old mother who works as agriculture and plantation instructor. Actually I need to know arent there any permenant treatment to this? I think to suicide.I cant bare this neck blockage and head shivering.I used flunarazine medicine for many years.no any result from that. One of my child is autistic child.I think my migrain and mental condition definitely cause to my kids' health.(from sri lanka)
I kept feeling like I was coming down with a fever today. Top-front of my head felt a ton of pain/pressure and a tightness and pressure behind the eyes. Then this video popped up and I realize I’m having a migraine! Thank you, I’m getting so much relief!!
Buy a bottle of the amino acid NAC. It will be capsules, about 500- 600 mg each. Take one on an EMPTY stomach with 6 oz of WATER, first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. It will thin mucus in your sinuses and lungs to clear it out very quickly. As a rule, use it as soon as you notice any extra mucus in your throat or sinuses, BEFORE it builds up, so you can Keep a clear head! Taking it on an empty stomach, and by itself, will ensure proper uptake.
A few years ago, I injured my back, the entire longissimus muscle. Touching it felt like a round cable, (inflamed, swollen and very painful), instead of laying flater. The L. capitis was the worst, I would get nauseous. In addition to this accident, I have degenerative cervical disk issues, level 3. I learned from your videos how to eventually fix it all, to a point. But, I feel almost as good as 35yrs ago. 😁
THANK YOU SO MUCH, currently having a migraine on the left side of my head, and behind the eye, sometimes it's so bad that I actually vomit. Gave me a good relief and stretch!
Hi how many times do you do these exercises daily or weekly get aura not bad headache I think it's anxiety wish you were in Ireland you are fantastic thank you
💢My first migraine. A headache that I went to sleep with turned into a full blown migraine right when I woke up- puking and all the other negative symptoms. Didn’t know if I had a stomach bug but the headache made me think migraine. I have a new baby and have been pushing my body way too hard without giving it any tlc. These stretches took a 9/10 headache to a 3/10 (with a little help from a thc rub & a few puffs of cbd + thc pen) The pain is still there and dull but now I feel like I have a course of action. Thank you!
Wow! I have had migraines for more than 20 years and I so wish I had found your videos and info before today. Better today than never! These stretches perfectly target those tight and tender spots enflamed by migraine pain, especially those last two for the traps! Heaven! Thank you!❤
I’ve suffered from migraines since 1988! I can’t wait to try these exercises, thank you so much! Off topic a little bit is that I spend many hours looking down at a desk and leaning forward, I am an artist. Is there a certain type of desk chair that you would Rec to help support my spine and neck ? I know I need a better one. Thanks and God bless!
I saw a physical therapist for my jaw. I have TMJ, trigeminal neuralgia, and migraines. These exercise provided me with a feeling similar to the massages and stretches I had at physical therapy! My neck and head feel so good. I’m glad I ran across this video. I’ve subscribed! Thank you!
Highest compliments on the way you explain how these muscles affect and lead up migraine headaches plus the way you demonstrate techniques to help give relief anyone can do & understand!! 💖💖💖💖💖
Suggestion for future video ...stretch for back around near number 11. I have a damaged disk and would love to get a lengthening of my spine in that area for some relief
Dr. Rowe I have watched several videos that you have posted and I have had great results doing the things you have suggested so with that being said I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with all of us I appreciate you
I'm so happy that you are on TH-cam. I live in Minnesota and it is hard to find a physical therapist like you. I have not heard or seen anyone like you. I don't like going to physical therapy when it is recommended by a doctor because I have always had the worst experience with them, they don't know what they are doing. This is one of the reasons why I want to move out of Minnesota and get somewhere where I am getting the help and support that I need, concerning my body health. Once again thank you so much. I really appreciate you. I will recommend you to everyone that is experiencing any kind of discomfort or pain in their body. God bless and your family 💜💜
I must admit just watching and doing lowered the noise level a little-bit. After over ten years of this noise anything is helpfull and I can't wait to see some progress months from now? Bookmarking for sure. What would be more helpfull is if you actually go thru all the exersises so I can follow along and then I actaully do all the exercises. I stop when you stop. I know that sounds what-ever but that is just the way I am at 69yrs old.
I have terrible pain in this area and have several knots. I also notice that when these are tight it’s a trigger for vertigo. I found this exercise helpful.
Started feeling a migraine coming on, follow the video two times through and I feel almost instant relief except maybe a little sore on those muscles you pointed out on the shoulders but I think they're just very stiff
Been unable to sleep for a few days now...just like anyone else i came to youtube... lucky me i got myself instant relief and yes i won't be bother by migraines agian😊
You just saved my life. 4 days with a migraine, with doctors prescribing me painkillers and steroids. Nothing helped. This is genuinely the first pain relief that I had. Thank you so much!
See a neurologist. There are wonderful medications available. I suffered for many years...7 to 12 migraines a month. Now, I give myself a monthly injection called Ajovy. I am now migraine free. I also take a dissolvable pill Nurtec when I feel a migraine coming on..I am feeling better within 2 hours. Please, stop your suffering. Help is out there. Be well
I've had cluster headaches (sharp acute pain behind and above left eye) for years before they were discussed on the internet. They went away for some years since 2015 and have recently returned. As an engineer, I'm very observant. This time around, I'm seeing relationship between stress, occipital nerves and muscles, sinuses, and possible jaw shifts back into place, due to ortho braces I had installed. This time I will look forward to trying strength training on my neck and shoulders, since bilateral pain often uncovers weakness in opposite muscles.
Yes I got those type. Try taking a dose of B3 500gm as soon as you get the aura, then you don’t get the headache. Best part I can take b3 where ever I go and don’t need to run home. But these exercises make sense as I’m sure you tense up even more when you are afraid of the coming headache. I think the B3 makes sure the blood vessels expand through the tight muscles and relieves the pressure on the capillaries. As I look back over the 60yrs, the basic problem was and is mental physical tension. Yeah🎉🎉🎉
I can tell by the preview pic this is EXACTLY what Im suffering from once a month since a decade. A knot in my neck deep in the tissue and once it starts the pain moves all the way to the right eye. Total nightmare.
There is no cure or permanent solution. But a healthy lifestyle with no stress and good exercise might help reduce the occurrence. Also check for the repetitive food triggers. Keep their consumption under control.
This was extremely helpful! My tension migraines last for days and these actually help lessen them. Dr. Rowe clearly and concisely explained these exercises and exactly why they help. Thank you so much for posting this video!
I dont trust chiropractors. But your clear understanding of the muscle and skeletal system is why I do take your advice. You have helped me and my girlfriend for a few diffraction issues with stretching and massages (no cracking dont like that and more flexible then most people, gymnastics) ive got my fair share of wins in competition sports and podiumed enough as well to know enough about the human body. You continue to teach me things I wish I knew. Might have a a win or two more! Thanks again my friend! The only chiropractor I trust.
Yes Dr Rowe stretches are amazing. I have had a rotator cuff issue recently. I've done the shoulder stretches for just a few days and the rotator pain has moved out from the RC joint!!
These stretches definitely help- my son and i both have these migraines/ meds didn’t work- or only worked for 1 st month. Son was having 4-5 migraines per week- brought him to acupuncture, went down to 2 a month. Much more manageable!!
What is this wizardry? Feeling the beginning of a migraine, I stumbled upon this video, and, although I can't say the pain has completely gone, I can bear to look at my phone screen enough to type this. Usually it'd be a pitch black, silent room and a bowl in case I vomit by now. Thank you so much
Great tips that show exactly how to release the tension building up! It never occurred to me to physically and manually stretch out the muscles that had tension! I had always reached for the meds. Liked and Subbed! The good word of the day is that you have been forever perfected and redeemed, all sins have already been washed, there is no more trying to do good to somehow meet a standard, we couldn’t so that’s why Jesus had come and died to wash away all our sins. it’s already done! (Heb 10:14,17. Heb 9:12, Isaiah 53:6)

What if doing these excercoses starts a migraine? In fact any type of neck movements do
Teeth grinding! I know you addressed the jaw in this one, but wondering if there are any more that can be done to release whatever it is that triggers grinding.
Thank you for the help this morning!
What exercise is good for narrowing spinal canal around the neck, between c5 and c6?
So that's why going to the toilet sometimes helps my migraine. It's because of my natural posture when sitting on the pot. 😅
I’ve had migraines for as long as I can remember. I’ve been diagnosed with migraines, tension headaches, cluster headaches, sinus headaches, everything you can imagine. I wish someone would have showed me these sooner! Nothing is worse than a migraine and these stretches help so much!
Glad you found the video, and I hope the exercises help you.
Same here, over 30 years in pain. 5 minutes in the car and all gone, I've literally had tears of relief
God bless your heart. I’ve had migraines since I was 9… they hurt more than people that don’t have them can imagine.
This is the first time I’ve heard migraines explained! and what muscles are involved.
Although I had an idea, with the eye pain, the muscles in the back of the head, neck, etc.

Have you gone for scan?
Any help?
Planning to go for scan maybe next week as I can't bear the pain anymore 😢
oh my god, 30 years of migraines and this is the first relief strategy that actually works. i'm speechless. thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
I do a lot massage when having migraines and after a bad migraine my skull is so sensitive and painful. I think using ice bags also helps a LOT!
I 've just wanted to say that with these exercises you gave some relief to a little kid who is suffering from migraines for 4 years now. Really appreciate it!
I was once in ur shoes bud! Be glad they got TH-cam cuz I went to hospital for mine in middle school now I’m here in college🤣

How are you feeling now, are you free from migraines, what have you been using please share with us😢
I am a RN who struggles with migraines as well as Fibromyalgia. These exercises, as well as those on your other videos, are helpful overall for muscle and nerve pain. Thank you.
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
On day 3 of a migraine and this gave me so much relief as I’m trying not to take meds anymore. Thanks for this!
I wrote a comment three hours ago. I had a splitting headache in the exact muscles you are demonstrating. Three hours ahead and my headache is completely gone. I did the exercises with you. I'm in Oregon. Can't thank you enough!!!!!
If I gently massage those muscles at the back of my skull, I get nauseous, and the only relief is vomiting. which, in turn, makes the pounding headache worse. Vomiting does relieve the nauseous felling, but no relief from the headaches.
I suffer the exact same way!!! Sending big hugs as I’m suffering for the second morning in a row 😢
True 😢
This a really good tutorial. My partner used to get migraines for 3-4 days weekly plus recovery. These headaches really made him miserable with pain, nausea and no sleep. He cannot take nsaids as he is on blood thinners so it's mostly white knuckles for a day or 3. He got off gluten which has allowed him to go months without a migraine. Now when he gets one he uses magnesium in some form or other right away to relax muscles. I could see myself giving him massage to help with the pain.

What is an oasis2?
One of your most valuable offerings
This will be helpful to many people❣️

Yep, drugs are not the answer, never the answer. If you knew what they were doing to your body, you wouldn't take them

There is a divice on the market which massages your skull and even gives you relaxing goosebumps.
The other day when stretching my hip flexors I got a big pop in my neck and had less swelling at the neck.
Do you have suggestions for someone experiencing tension headaches?
Really helped my migraine - thank you - I even felt muscles release in my lower back too✌️🤞😊 I notice that with FMS and Myofascial Pain Syndrome etc.

God bless and your family 💜💜
I have a weak/tight transverse abdominis! Can you make video for that, Dr ?
Very informative and helpful vedios ...
Support from India
Hello and thanks for watching!
Very helpful. So much better than gobbling down NSAID
Glad it was helpful!
Are these safe to do when the muscles feel so tight/swollen/stiff like :(
I get migraines with the related to changes in seasons or storm activities.
Thank you for putting out such great content for free, doc! Happy new year to you!
Happy to help, and Happy New Year!
I must admit just watching and doing lowered the noise level a little-bit. After over ten years of this noise anything is helpfull and I can't wait to see some progress months from now? Bookmarking for sure. What would be more helpfull is if you actually go thru all the exersises so I can follow along and then I actaully do all the exercises. I stop when you stop. I know that sounds what-ever but that is just the way I am at 69yrs old.
I have terrible pain in this area and have several knots. I also notice that when these are tight it’s a trigger for vertigo. I found this exercise helpful.
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for watching!
Started feeling a migraine coming on, follow the video two times through and I feel almost instant relief except maybe a little sore on those muscles you pointed out on the shoulders but I think they're just very stiff
Been unable to sleep for a few days now...just like anyone else i came to youtube... lucky me i got myself instant relief and yes i won't be bother by migraines agian😊
This felt so good, thanks a lot Doctor. I wish I knew these earlier. Best wishes 🙏
Glad it helped and thanks for watching!
That helps
You just saved my life. 4 days with a migraine, with doctors prescribing me painkillers and steroids. Nothing helped. This is genuinely the first pain relief that I had.
Thank you so much!
Glad you found the video and are getting relief!
Really? For how many days do we have to do this?
See a neurologist.
There are wonderful medications available.
I suffered for many years...7 to 12 migraines a month.
Now, I give myself a monthly injection called Ajovy.
I am now migraine free.
I also take a dissolvable pill Nurtec when I feel a migraine coming on..I am feeling better within 2 hours.
Please, stop your suffering.
Help is out there.
Be well
I've had cluster headaches (sharp acute pain behind and above left eye) for years before they were discussed on the internet. They went away for some years since 2015 and have recently returned.
As an engineer, I'm very observant. This time around, I'm seeing relationship between stress, occipital nerves and muscles, sinuses, and possible jaw shifts back into place, due to ortho braces I had installed. This time I will look forward to trying strength training on my neck and shoulders, since bilateral pain often uncovers weakness in opposite muscles.
Amazing! Thank you so much
Thanks so much for watching!
Badly needed after a 24hr painkiller resistant migraine! 👍
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.
Yes I got those type. Try taking a dose of B3 500gm as soon as you get the aura, then you don’t get the headache. Best part I can take b3 where ever I go and don’t need to run home.
But these exercises make sense as I’m sure you tense up even more when you are afraid of the coming headache.
I think the B3 makes sure the blood vessels expand through the tight muscles and relieves the pressure on the capillaries.
As I look back over the 60yrs, the basic problem was and is mental physical tension. Yeah🎉🎉🎉
Neck stiff starts it off
Thank you
These are some of the best neck exercises for relief I have seen and address all my issues
Thank you Thank you ❤
Glad you found the video and thanks for watching!
Timing is everything! I have been having neck pain and headaches for several weeks. Can’t wait to try these stretches.
Works!!!!!!!
Wait... did you actually watch the whole video since this came out like 3 minutes ago. 😂
wow it reduces pain by a lot while i do these. i hope it will get rid of the pain in long term
Superb advice.
Thanks so much for watching!
I can tell by the preview pic this is EXACTLY what Im suffering from once a month since a decade. A knot in my neck deep in the tissue and once it starts the pain moves all the way to the right eye. Total nightmare.
Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching!
Please can someone tell me if there's any cure/solution for this hell migraines to free us from this unbearable pains??😢
There is no cure or permanent solution. But a healthy lifestyle with no stress and good exercise might help reduce the occurrence. Also check for the repetitive food triggers. Keep their consumption under control.
❤ just found this video, amazing. Thank you....
What the hell my migraine is gone this is the best migraine relief exercices I’ve ever tried
Glad you found the video!
You have nailed it doc.
Have covered every way of pains.
Will definitely try.
Thank you! Will try these regularly. Experiencing debilitating migraine pain atleast 2-3 times a month.
So brilliant, thank you so much, you’re videos are really really helpful and much appreciated xoxoxo
Thanks so much for watching!
This was extremely helpful! My tension migraines last for days and these actually help lessen them. Dr. Rowe clearly and concisely explained these exercises and exactly why they help. Thank you so much for posting this video!
I dont trust chiropractors. But your clear understanding of the muscle and skeletal system is why I do take your advice. You have helped me and my girlfriend for a few diffraction issues with stretching and massages (no cracking dont like that and more flexible then most people, gymnastics) ive got my fair share of wins in competition sports and podiumed enough as well to know enough about the human body. You continue to teach me things I wish I knew. Might have a a win or two more! Thanks again my friend! The only chiropractor I trust.
Yes Dr Rowe stretches are amazing. I have had a rotator cuff issue recently. I've done the shoulder stretches for just a few days and the rotator pain has moved out from the RC joint!!
Speaking as a migraine sufferer and yoga instructor, many, many thanks for this content.
You are a hero thank you so much , i really feel good after your exercise and i will do it every morning
These stretches definitely help- my son and i both have these migraines/ meds didn’t work- or only worked for 1 st month. Son was having 4-5 migraines per week- brought him to acupuncture, went down to 2 a month. Much more manageable!!
Excellent exercises!Thanks for sharing!🎉
What is this wizardry? Feeling the beginning of a migraine, I stumbled upon this video, and, although I can't say the pain has completely gone, I can bear to look at my phone screen enough to type this. Usually it'd be a pitch black, silent room and a bowl in case I vomit by now. Thank you so much
That's wonderful, glad you found the video!
Great tips that show exactly how to release the tension building up! It never occurred to me to physically and manually stretch out the muscles that had tension! I had always reached for the meds. Liked and Subbed! The good word of the day is that you have been forever perfected and redeemed, all sins have already been washed, there is no more trying to do good to somehow meet a standard, we couldn’t so that’s why Jesus had come and died to wash away all our sins. it’s already done! (Heb 10:14,17. Heb 9:12, Isaiah 53:6)
