AR E YOU SUFFER ING FR OM HE ADACHE S? If you suffer from headaches, try these recommended exercises. For the first three days, perform Exercise 1 (Head retraction in sitting) 6-8 times a day, 10 repe- titions each time and whenever you feel a headache developing. If this reduces your headaches but does not abolish them completely, you should add Exercise 2 (Neck flexion in sitting). In particular, headaches that spread over the top of your head to above or behind the eyes are often relieved with this exercise. In case your headaches are not relieved by these two exercises, try sustaining the end range position for 1-2 minutes.

E XER CISE 2
Sit in a chair with good posture. Lower your chin as if you are nodding yes, using your arm to assist until you feel a slight stretch in the back of your neck. Hold the position, then return to the starting position. Re- peat as specified above.
