Headaches
Headaches can become so severe they could blind a horse and are incapacitating and complicated.
When serious medical reasons for the headache(s) have been ruled out and you are still living in pain it is time to find some gain by looking at the issues from a new perspective.
Dysfunctional breathing patterns, poor spinal support, and imbalances in the skull, just to name a few can all contribute to incapacitating headaches.
These issues frequently don’t show up on scans or tests. Looking at the bigger picture of habitual patterns and kinesthetic actions can change these patterns for life.
