Migraines can be very bad when there is no relaxation. There are people who lose 4 days a week by suffering migraine (17sec.). Many people think that toxic pills have to be taken against migraine and that the day-long suffering would be incurable (28sec.). Migraine is an increased muscle tension that causes a headache. Then the tension increases and hurts even more. "At some point, the headache is stinging, maybe there's a cluster headache" (1min.11sec.).

Mr. Liebscher-Bracht describes the causes of migraine

For headache there are about 200 different definitions and also about 200 different diagnoses (1min.17sec.). Headache is an "ever increasing tension" (1min.28sec.). As the pressure on the intervertebral discs increases due to misalignment of the neck, the brain responds with tension in the muscles to protect the intervertebral discs (2min.40sec.). Second, there is a pain, at first mild, then more and more, and if nothing is done, the pain ends up in migraine (2min.52sec.). A person with a migraine attack can not turn his head, but the head is rigidly connected to the trunk and any movement of the head is painful (3min.10sec.). "The migraine is the lumbago of the cervical spine" (3min.15sec.). The body is stopping every movement to keep the spine protected (3min.31sec.). The migraine begins e.g. with a stretching force in one shoulder, and after half a day the whole thing suddenly tilts into a migraine (3min.48sec.). All indications during 30 years of healing experience suggest this procedure (3min.54sec.). When the migraine pain draws into the eyes and along the temple, all this comes from the cervical spine, and so can tighten also the muscles of the eye, and therefore with a migraine is also an eye pain (4min.54sec.).

Migraines are usually said to be an increased headache (35sec.). But migraine is caused by muscles on the neck, the "migraine cords". When these muscle cords become shorter and shorter by eternal sitting - especially with people who are predestined for it anyway (57sec.), - so these people first develop more headaches and then a migraine (1min.1sec.).

[...] Tension on the neck up to migraine only arises because the body wants to protect its cervical spine with protection against wearout, protection of the intervertebral discs (15min.55sec.).

Migraine massage 1a: Slowly roll down with the small massage roller at the back of the neck at a 45-degree angle

Massage is satrting on the skull over the ear and roll slowly downwards, always at a 45-degree angle (2min.10sec.). The roll massage for the connective tissue (fascia roll massage) goes from the region above the ear to the scapula, always at a 45-degree angle at an angle to the back. In this way, the tissue fluid is forced through the connective tissue (2min.40sec.).

 
Migraine massage 1 from the skull to the shoulder blade in a 45 degree angle 1+2

Migraine massage 1 from the skull to the shoulder blade at a 45-degree angle 03

Doing the exercise alone requires a lot of flexibility in the shoulder area (2min.42sec.). Muscle cord ("migraine cord") is sensitive, "even with people who do not develop migraines" (2min.47sec.). At the end the roller is reaching the area of the scapula (shoulder blade) (3min.9sec.).

Migraine massage 1b: The same exercise with the small massage roller is done on the other side
(3min.18sek.). There where it hurts the most, the body needs it most. This massage is an optimal preparation for the following exercises afterwards (4min.2sec.).

Migraine massage 1 from the skull to the scapula at a 45-degree angle, other side

Migraine massage 2: With the small massage roller will be a massage of the upper edge of the breastbone

The small massage ball is placed at the height of the clavicle and then the pain points are sought at this height (5min.3sec.). So the small massage ball rolls the first cm under the clavicles and along the upper edge of the breastbone (5min.39sec.).

Migraine massage 2: With the small massage ball, the upper edge of the breastbone and the first cm of the lower edges of the clavicles are unrolled, in the case of pain points, a circular massage is performed in a spiral shape

These slow massages have the effect that the following exercises of afterwards will "run much more relaxed" (5min.49sec.). During the massage, some tensions in the brain are already erased (5min.58sec.). Ccirculation and metabolism are becoming better. It feels "different" (6min.16sec.).

Migraine massage 3a: Massaging the area of the temples with a small massage ball

Who has a "migraine with aura development", then the temporal areas are very important, because with a massage of the temporal areas the whole face will relax (7min.0sec.). This can cause healings on the head: distortions will relax, a limited hearing returns to be normal, noises during migraine [tinnitus, etc.] disappear, etc. (7min.6sec.). The small massage ball is rolled in small spirals and in this way the pain points are searched (7min.47sec.).

 
Migraine massage 3a: The position of the temple with the pain points -- Migraine massage 3a: With the small massage ball the temporal region is unrolled

Migraine massage 3b: The other temple is massaged with a small massage ball
(8min.37sec.). Pain points are areas "where it's boiling" (9min.15sec.).

Migraine massage 3b: The small massage ball is used to unroll the temporal region - the other side

Migraine exercise 1a: Stretching the migraine cord on one side

One shoulder is dropped, the fist pulled to the shoulder, the head is rotated by 45 degrees to the hanging shoulder, and then with the other hand the head  is pulled to the other side (10min.36sec.). With each exhale a little more "stretching force" is coming: "go in well" (10min.44sec).

Migraine exercise 1a: The migraine is stretched: drop the shoulder, pull the fist to the shoulder, turn the head by 45 degrees to the falling shoulder, with the other hand pull the head on the top of the head to the other side

The thoracic spine should remain straight during this exercise to keep the tension of the exercise. Then slowly go out of the exercise and come up with your head (10min.59sec.).

Migraine exercise 1b: Stretching migraine cord on the other side
(11min.3sek.). Wenn man die Massage mit der kleinen Massagerolle gemacht hat, dann ist die Dehnung des Migränestrangs viel einfacher. Dann wieder langsam aus der Übung rausgehen und den Kopf geradestellen (12min.10sek.).

(11min.3sec.). Performing the massage with the little massage roller, the stretching of the migraine cord will be more simple. And then come out of the exercise and have your head in the normal upright position (12min.10sec.).

Migraine exercise 1b: The migraine cord is stretched: drop the shoulder, pull the fist to the shoulder, turn the head by 45 degrees to the falling shoulder, pull the head with the other hand to the other side - the other side

Migraine exercise 2a: Stretching the neck side region

The shoulder hangs, the fist is pulled to the shoulder and the head is pulled without rotation from the other hand to the other side (12min.35sec.). The stretch pain of the exercise is at the neck side area (12min.42sec.). With this exercise also the carotid artery is stretched, "where big deposits are" (13min.2sec.).

 
Migraine exercise 2a: The side of the neck is stretched: drop the shoulder, pull the fist to the shoulder, head looks straight ahead, with the other hand pull the head to one side

Migraine exercise 2b: Stretching the neck side area on the other side
and the back and thoracic spine (BWS) must always stay straight (13min.56sec.). The posture has to stay upright and "keep increasing" [with each exhale the tension is increased up to the limit of pain] (14min.2sec.). Notice how the tissue on the side of the neck is yielding "mm for mm" (14min.10sec.).

Migraine exercise 2b: The side of the neck is stretched: Drop the shoulder, pull the fist to the shoulder, the head looks straight ahead, put the other hand on the head and pull the head to the other side

"In the end, migraine is nothing more than a "big tension" that can cause a complete standstill of muscles when everything is contracted (14min.32sec). Therefore there are patients who cannot move their head any more because all is aonly in a big tension." (14min.38)

Migraine exercise 3a: Stretching neighboring muscles of the migraine cord

Drop the shoulder, pull the fist to the shoulder, turn the head by 45 degrees to the OTHER shoulder, put the other hand on the head pulling it to the other shoulder (15min.4sec.). Then one can turn the head a bit to find the muscle that hurts the most (15min.19sec.).

Migraine exercise 3a: More muscles on the side of the neck are stretched: Drop the shoulder, pull the fist to the shoulder, turn the head by 45 degrees towards the other shoulder, put the other hand on the head pulling it to the other side.

Tension on the neck to migraine arise only when the body is protecting it's cervical spine from a wearout, it's a protection action for the intervertebral discs (15min.55sec.).

Migraine exercise 3b: Stretching of the neck side area with 45 degree angle on the other side
and at the end leave the exercise slowly (16min.51sec.).

Migraine exercise 3b: More muscles on the side of the neck are stretched: drop the shoulder, pull the fist to the shoulder, turn the head by 45 degrees towards the other shoulder, put the other hand on the head pulling it to the other side

After these massages and exercises the head feels much easier (16min.56sec.).

With migraine the tensions around the spine has to be reduced (16sec.). By permanent wrong postures, the connective tissue (fascia) and muscles have become too short. due to permanent malposition, so one has to stretch them again (27sec.). At the back of the neckon the left and right side the two migraine cords can be found (35sec.).

Liebscher-Bracht shows the two migraine cords on the neck left and right

Most migraine patients describe the onset of migraine on these two migraine cords: the tension becomes bigger and bigger, "and then there is a turning point and migraine is there" (47sec.). Therefore exactly at these muscle cords are tensions, which one should be dissolved (51sek.). First one has to smoothen the tensed musscles, and then they have to be stretched, so that they get their normal length - so no tension will be built any more (57sec.).

Migraine video 2 exercise 1: stretch the migraine cord

Hang one shoulder, pull the light fist to the shoulder, turn the head by 45 degrees towards the lowered shoulder, put the other hand on the head pulling the head to the other shoulder (1min.46sec.). Stretch until just before the pain point, "so that it is just still positive" (2min.21sec.). Then, by the time, the stretching pain is reducing, and then one can stretch a little further (2min.34sec.). Then the exercise is finished with a long lasting slow exit and the stretching is made on the other side (2min.50sec.).

 
Migraine exercise 1: Stretch the migraine cord 01 + 02 with head turned by 45 degrees in the direction of the hanging shoulder, pull the head in the opposite direction

Migraine video 2 massage 1: unroll the neck with the little massage roll from the bottom to the top

With the small massage roller, the neck is rolled from bottom to top and where the sensitive bony prominence is, you stop and massage this sensitive point (4min.33sec.)

 

Migraine video 2 massage 1: The neck is unrolled from the bottom to the top with the small massage roller - The small massage roller remains at the knobs on the edge of the skull and is massaging the sensitive point

Then the massage roller is rolled down again (4min.38sec.). In this way, the muscles on the neck are relaxed and made movable again (4min.47sec.).

Massage 2: The small massage roller is rolled up the neck diagonally
The small massage roller is now rolled up diagonally on one side of the neck. So the lateral area of the neck is relaxed, up to the edge of the skull and down again - all slowly (5min.14sec.).

Video 4: aura migraine with eye pain

There are migraines with very strong headaches with aura, with handicapped eyes, one can not see well, there are perceptual and sensory disturbances, hearing disturbances, too (14sec). From the slight headache to migraine, it is always the same development: muscles shorten and develop tensions and the forces become too strong, the connective tissue (fascia) is shortened and matted, the whole system is becoming increasingly tense (40sec). Headaches are limited to the cranium. But the pains may, however, continue to the mouth with the masticatory muscles, and the pain can be also in the eyes (56sec.). The connective tissue is always connected to each other so the pain is triggered at the various points where there is no cause (1min.15sec.). If this happens in the face with migraines, it is called the "aura disorder" (1min.19sec.). Healing this, all muscles have to be moved (1min.30sec.). When the eyes hurt, it is also called "eye migraine" (1min.36sec.).

Eye migraine exercise 1: close the eyes and look "up"

The eyes are closed, the patient looks "upwards" and puts the thumbs on the bottom edge of the eyes so that the eyes look even more "upwards". The thumbs must not touch the eyeball (2min.18sec.). Then loosen all and let it go again.

Aura migraine: Eye migraine exercise 1: Eyes are closed, pupils are "looking up", thumbs are touching the lower edge of the eye

Eye migraine exercise 2: close the eyes and "look" down

Ees are closed, eyes are looking "down", and the forefingers touch the upper edge of the eye on the eyebrows and "help" the eyes even better to "look down" (2min.35sec.).

Aura migraine: Eye migraine exercise 2: Eyes are closed, pupils are "looking down", index fingers are touching the upper edges of the eyes

Eye migraine exercise  3: Close the eyes and "look" to the right
In the third exercise, the eyes are closed, the pupils are turned to the right and the index fingers are placed on the left edge of the eye (2min.42sec.)

Aura migraine: Eye migraine exercise 3: Eyes are closed, pupils "look" to the right, thumb fingers are touching the left edge of the eye

Eye migraine exercise 4: Close the eyes and "look" to the left
The eyes are closed, the pupils "look" to the left, the forefingers touch the right edge of the eye (2min.47sec.).

Aura migraine: Eye migraine exercise 4: Eyes are closed, pupils "look" to the left, forefingers are touching the right eye margin

With these four exercises, the tension in the eye muscles decreases considerably and the pain is reduced (2min.54sec.).

Tense chewing muscles as a factor for the eyes

These disorders in aura migraine also involve the masticatory muscles that extend from the jaw over the temple up to the zone over the ear (3min.2sec.). Liebscher-Bracht recommends to open the mouth as much as possible with one hand on the lower jaw, which pulls the lower jaw down, and the other hand is put on the forehead, which pushes the forehead backwards (3min.23sec.). In most cases this helps (3min.37sec.).

Aura migraine: Eye migraine exercise 5: Open the mouth wide and jaw muscles are relaxed

[In addition, there are other exercises to relax the jaw muscles, see teeth grinding (bruxism)].
