What should you do if you’re dealing with neck pain and vestibular migraine—or another vestibular disorder.
Remember: vestibular migraine can be the cause of neck pain itself without anything being wrong with the neck.
The first thing is to identify where the pain is coming from so you can take the proper actions to manage the pain, but there are 3 key areas you want to consider.
In this episode, we’ll dig into:
Neck pain and the prodromal phase of migraine
3 things to consider when having neck pain and migraine
Which muscles in the upper and middle back to be mindful of
What’s in the 6-week neck protocol in Vestibular Group Fit
How to have the best posture for your neck
It is completely normal to not actually want to move your neck because that typically makes you feel more dizzy. And… it’s going to help you so much more in the long run if you welcome movement back into your neck. Start slowly, consider joining us in VGF, and know that you’re doing a great job even by listening to a podcast episode like this!
