    Conquering Concussion.

    You might think of this as Migraine Book 2. Migraine and concussion are strongly related. Meanwhile, excerpts coming here.


    • Muscle Pain

    Do these pain patterns look familiar?

    Many mysterious pains come from muscles, often far from where you feel the pain. See why kneecap pain may be coming from your hip, why sinus pain and migraines (and their neurological symptoms) may be coming from shoulder and neck, or even from thighs, legs, or feet.

    If kneeling hurts and swordwork gives you headaches, Range-of-Motion (ROM) testing will help locate and correct the underlying muscular causes. Improve flexibility for yoga, dance, and martial arts, and stop pain before it starts.

    But what is ROM testing? It is essentially "muscle length" testing. Test muscles involved in head, neck, shoulder, sinus and migraine pain with this sampler of ROM tests excerpted and adapted from our Range-of-Motion Testing Charts.
