Abstract

Headache and neck pain can be alleviated or prevented by stretching and strengthening the head and neck muscles, tissues, and bones. Poor posture can place an additional burden on the head, neck, and shoulder muscles, which may result in migraine or tension headaches. Maintenance of a correct posture at rest or during physical activity accompanied by regular aerobic exercise can help migraines come less often and less severe. Combining stretching exercises with targeted strengthening exercises such as craniocervical flexion, extension, rotation, lateral flexion, chin tuck and back, and shoulder blade exercises can help the improvement of headache and neck pain. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
