    Hi James and thanks for this article and your recent focus on full body (posture, etc.) Migraine is a perfect storm of disease in all parts of my body including the skeletal and muscular so I believe in addressing all these points.
    I invest in regular deep tissue massage that is focused on trigger points – and my massage therapist who knows me well and gives me a sliding scale helps me to locate trigger points so I can address them with self-massage and stretching between appointments.
    Also on my anti-migraine team are a chiropractor and two very good yoga teachers.
    I’ve added in a cranio-sacral bodyworker. She’s local, she’s renowned and I’ve worked with her before. She’s also expensive so I can afford fewer sessions per month. Cranio-sacral is a very subtle form of bodywork and the jury’s still out on whether it’s helping me. I had 72 symptom-free hours after my last session, but I do not attribute that to the bodywork specifically (yet).
    If someone wants to try it, I recommend finding a cranio-sacral therapist who is already very experienced in this practice and has a track record with migraine/headache disorders.

    I have allodynia and I found this device too painful. Like trying to distract yourself from the migraine by hitting yourself in the forehead.
