Massage, a common method of relieving migraine headaches, can be done by a professional - or you can do it yourself using this technique.

Pullbacks - Tilt head slightly to one side and push horizontally forward across the neck with the other hand, starting at the top of the neck and repeating twice more at regular intervals down to the base of the neck.
Scalp - relaxes the mind
Brisk rub - supporting the forehead with one hand, rub the base of the skull briskly first with the fingers and then the heel of the palm, causing gentle friction.
