> and she, somewhat condescendingly, said that what she does is too complicated and takes years of training, and is not something I could do at home.
Pardon language, but I call bullshit. (But I can't stand condescending doctors, personally...)
I've had about 10 weeks of PT for migraines and know someone else who has had PT for several months. The other person had said that, other than Botox, PT was the only other thing that worked to decrease migraine severity for her. For me, it felt like I was looser, but my migraines are so bloody variable that I have no idea if it actually did anything.
And we both had daily exercises to bring home between sessions.
One of these exercises was the tennis ball idea, as noted by Lillygrass. (The ball is supposed to go just below the occipital area (approximately where C1/C2 starts in this picture) -- with the 'gap' between the two balls being where your spine rests.)
Most of the rest required a foam roller (example of a foam roller) and a stretchy resistance band (example of resistance band).
According to the 2 PT doctors I saw (my friend and I went to different places, but her exercises seemed similar to mine), they were to strengthen the core and thus take pressure off the muscles in the back/neck. (YMMV, we might not have the same type of migraine.)
Yes! They are cheaper on amazon though. I'm using them for flexibility training
These are what i purchased.
This is what I'm going to be picking up for extra resistance. They have a resistance chart if you swipe the image.

I've responded elsewhere in this thread but I feel the need to repost some Highly Recommended advice.
I'm 32. Constant pain has become a part of life.
A decade of ice hockey, lacrosse, and construction work caught up to me at 27. More than the sports, I miss the little things, like being able to jump down a whole flight of stairs. Now I go one step at a time and use the handrail.
If you have health insurance, see a physical therapist. A few sessions will teach you enough to be able to help yourself for the rest of your life. If you don't have insurance, look up some physical therapy stretches on youtube.
I stretch every morning with elastic resistance bands. They have been invaluable for stretching injured joints. You can get a set of 3 different resistances for $12 on amazon or at a sporting goods store. I still have back pain but my shoulders, knees, etc. are much less problematic now.

These are the types I am talking about:

This one is thin and can be tied in a knot to make a loop of almost any size.

But cheaper ones can be found on aliexpress.com , if you are willing to wait for delayed shipping.
