Virtually all head, neck and back pain is caused by needless muscular holding. In other words, you’re unnecessarily tense. You’re holding on when you would do better to let go.<\/p>\n

Here’s more<\/a>:<\/p>\n People tend to think that a really bad, incapacitating headache must be a migraine. If it\u2019s so bad that they really have no choice but go and lie down, it\u2019s a migraine.
