Headache be gone!
DIY this headache away with some easy SELF manual therapy!
The Splenius Capitis is a muscle in our neck that helps with loads of neck motions!
However, because of this day and age, it’s excessively easy for this muscle to overload itself and work too hard (kind of like the rest of our bodies) – making muscle knots prevalent.
These knots can refer pain into other parts of our bodies, like our heads!
Giving us tension headaches and symptoms of Migraines!
Try this out and see how it feels!
