Often migraine sufferers are less physically active then non-sufferers.

Is this a cause or an effect? After all, you hardly feel like exercise if all you want to do is lie in a darkened room with an ice-pack.

But a study in “Headache: the journal of head and face pain”  shows that aerobic exercise can reduce migraine pain.

It stands to reason really – and we’ve seen in another Natural Migraine Alternatives blog post than oxygen can help migraine.  So head on over to the article and read more.

Qualified complementary therapists keep up-to-date with their profession via training and continual personal development. My governing body runs regular sessions we can attend to introduce us to the work of other practitioners and learn how it can help our clients.

This morning I attended a fascinating talk by Adam Shaw, a qualified health consultant with over 16 years of experience in the health care field – and a great sense of humour.

Adam held us spell-bound for a couple of hours with the story of his life-journey, and introduced us to his Walk Innovation sessions.

What has this got to do with migraine? Well, we all know that walking is good for you. Instinctively you may feel, or have experienced, that talking things over is good for you. What may come as more of a surprise to some people is that laughing is great therapy too – releasing serotonin, often referred to as the “feel-good” hormone.

So combining walking, talking and laughing is absolutely amazing for you – and this is precisely what Adam Shaw’s Walk Innovation sessions will do.

If your migraines could be caused by unresolved issues and stresses in your life, Adam’s workshops could be just what you’re looking for.

Other approaches to stress reduction can be found in my ebook.
