Are you constantly taking medication,
or being knocked out for several days due to a
migraine?
Migraine, the most complicated
and debilitating of headaches, people who suffer
migraine conditions generally think the only treatment
available to them is medical or drug based and
that natural headache relief is ineffective. With
a little knowledge of how to approach migraine
treatment structurally people are finding ways
to turn off or lessen these episodes. Most therapists
look at chemical imbalances and lifestyle modifications
like, recognizing the onset or trigger that brings
on a headache, using things like hot showers or
sleep in a darkened room to turn off or lessen
the attack.
You may not think your back or neck
is “out or restricted in movement”
as though you need to see the Osteopath or Chiropractor,
but the musculature is so spasmed and clamped
down, you have a “blinding headache”.
Slowly people started telling me about turning
off migraine attacks if they caught them
early enough. People were then finding that if
they did a bit of regular massage with the S.O.S
the attacks would be less intense, shorter in
duration and required less medication.
Even with basic treatment such as
relaxation, the S.O.S. places the neck and head
IN a relaxed position, the “traction”
the S.O.S. achieves on the sub-occiput (base of
the skull), gives support and comfort to the whole
cranium. Going through a series of deep breathing
exercises while in this position, helps the body
drain fluid from the head – venous blood
gets backed up if the sub-occiput is tight and
restricted.
Once a migraine has set-in it is
generally too severe to go anywhere near the cranium
with traction etc, the Osteopathic technique of
“inhibition” (placing pressure across
a muscle to put it on stretch and letting that
pressure be continuous until the muscle “lets
go”) can be achieved with the S.O.S.
Placing the S.O.S. between the shoulders
and just sitting back against it in a chair or
couch, for 10 – 15 minutes BEFORE using
the S.O.S. in the lying position.
Muscles all, contract toward
their “origin”, pulling ON their “insertion”,
while using the S.O.S. as just described, the
inhibition technique allows the muscle to ease
off, pulling less on their “insertions”.
In the neck, most of the postural muscles have
their “origins” in and around the
shoulder girdle and their “insertions”
in and around the neck and base of the head (sub-occiput).
Sometimes this is all a patient
needs, to break
the cycle and ease the
pulling or pressure on their heads, some people
need to take medication as well, but often this
is noticeably reduced by using the S.O.S. With
this device people can get to understand the role
that their structure plays in the symptoms they
suffer, they know more about how their structure
reacts than most therapists could ever hope to.
The amount of soft tissue treatment
you can give yourself with the S.O.S. could never
be afforded by a therapist, you can take the S.O.S.
anywhere with you - work, holiday, Christmas visits
with relatives and you DON'T need to power it
up. It does NOTHING, you do it all.
No longer than
15-20 minutes at a time
For further information
on the many uses of the SOS...
Dr Nelson developed
the SOS from an original Osteopathic technique
called the Sub Occipital Release. This Technique
is used for relaxing the soft tissues of the upper
neck, giving a much easier flow of fluid in and
out of the cranium.
By using the moulded hands and palms of Dr Nelson,
you are able to perform this technique at home
and also give yourself a good massage to most
spinal muscles, relieving headache and stress
symptoms
WITHOUT THE USE OF DRUGS.
