💪 Not all exercise “triggers” are the same for people with migraine.

Exercise can help or hurt depending on when and how symptoms show up — and understanding that pattern is key to adapting instead of avoiding movement.

Here are the 3 main patterns I see in clinic:
1️⃣ Immediate headache during a specific movement (like shoulder raises, shrugs, or chin tucks)
2️⃣ Gradual headache that builds during exercise — often a sign the volume or intensity needs adjusting
3️⃣ Headache later in the day — usually the “bucket overflow” from stress, poor sleep, or skipped meals

Exercise isn’t the enemy. It’s information. The key is finding your starting point and building tolerance over time.

💬 Do you think exercise triggers your migraine?
Which of these 3 patterns sounds most like you?

If you have migraine, exercise isn’t the enemy.
It’s actually one of the most powerful tools to change how your brain functions.

Regular movement can reshape the brain’s connections and lower its sensitivity to triggers over time.
That means fewer migraine attacks, better recovery, and more days you can actually live your life.

You don’t need to push harder. You need a plan that’s consistent, safe, and tailored to you.

You’ve probably been told to “exercise more” for migraine…
but no one tells you how to do that safely.

If you’ve ever started exercising only to flare up again or quit out of fear, this one’s for you.

Here are 4 things to remember when getting active with migraine:
1️⃣ Set a realistic goal and an even more realistic starting point.
2️⃣ Follow the Rule of TOOs: not too much, too soon, too hard, or too often.
3️⃣ It’s not all or nothing. Some movement is always better than none.
4️⃣ Be mindful of your other triggers. Gyms can be loud, bright, and overwhelming.

Small, consistent movement is one of the best ways to retrain your brain and lower migraine frequency over time.

💬 If you want help figuring out where to start, send me a message with the word MOVE.
I’ll show you how to build a plan that supports your brain, not triggers it.

🚫 Stop stretching your neck!

That tightness you feel isn’t a sign you need to stretch. For most people, neck mobility is already normal. That “tight” sensation is really your body saying: “support me, don’t stretch me.”

Neck tension usually comes from fatigue — holding one position too long, like staring at a screen all day. Stretching might feel good for a minute, but it doesn’t solve the problem.

👉 The real solution? Move more often. Build strength in your neck and shoulders. Create endurance so your muscles can support you. That’s how you actually reduce tension, headaches, and migraine.

🎯 September is programmed + ready to go!

Just finished assigning this month’s Active Headache Recovery routine to all of our monthly subscribers and I’m pumped about what’s inside.

🧠 This month’s focus: neck and shoulder strength to help reduce headache frequency, tension, and postural overload.

Whether you’re dealing with migraine, tension-type headache, cervicogenic headache, or vestibular migraine, this plan is built to support your nervous system and get you moving, safely.

Each workout is:
✅ Short (10–15 mins)
✅ Equipment-light
✅ Designed to lower head pain without triggering symptoms

Already in the app for our members 👊
Ready when you are.

📲 Message me if you’re interested in joining the program or want to see if it’s a good fit for your head pain.

“Looks like a giant game of Spot It!, right? 👀
It is… but with a twist.

We use this setup to train eye movement, head control, and brain processing speed all at once.

It’s a fun way to work on:
✅ Visual scanning & focus
✅ Eye-head coordination
✅ Balance & posture under challenge
✅ Quick decision-making

Patients match symbols from their card to one on the wall, swapping cards as fast as they can — sometimes against the clock, and sometimes against me.

This isn’t just a game. It’s targeted therapy for people recovering from concussion, neck injuries, dizziness, or certain headache disorders — and yes, it’s actually fun.

Would you win against your PT in this game? 😉

If your neck exercise program looks like this… it’s no wonder you’re not getting better.

Most “neck exercise” handouts floating around the internet (or even from clinics) are:
❌ Not progressive: they don’t actually build strength or endurance over time.
❌ Too generic: not designed for your headache or migraine triggers.
❌ Full of stretches you might not even need and in some cases, they can make symptoms worse.

For people with headache or migraine, exercises should target:
💪 Weakness in the deep neck muscles
🧠 Poor neck control and coordination
⚡ Low muscle endurance

…and be adjusted if you also deal with dizziness, fibromyalgia, or hypermobility.

When done right, an exercise program can:
✅ Decrease headache/migraine frequency
✅ Reduce neck pain and stiffness
✅ Lessen dizziness
✅ Improve your quality of life

If you’ve been trying generic programs and not getting results… it’s not you…it’s the program.

📲 Send me a message “Help” and I can help you build a plan that’s progressive, evidence-based, and designed for your unique needs.

“You should exercise.”
If you’ve been told that before… but no one showed you how to do it without triggering a migraine attack then this is for you.

Maybe you’ve tried.

You went for a walk, tried a workout, or got motivated to start again.

But you got a migraine attack or neck pain came back. Or it got worse. So you stopped. Again.

I work with people who:
✔ Want to be active
✔ Are afraid to trigger an attack
✔ Have “failed” at staying consistent with exercise

Here’s what we do together:
✅ Build a migraine-smart plan based on your goals, not a generic program
✅ Figure out how to pace, recover, and adapt your workouts
✅ Create a routine that fits into your life, instead of controlling it

This is 1-on-1 coaching. Not physical therapy, not generic fitness advice that doesn’t fit your lifestyle.

Just a proven system that helps you move with confidence.

Send me a DM or comment “info” below and I’ll send you the details.
