I started getting headaces in 2015. At first they were mild, but in the last two years they have become worse and worse. I have tried a lot of treatments, physical therapy, mindfulness, dentists, and treatment by a neurologist.

After just a couple week of this program I felt so much better. My stresslevels got lower, I slept much better and I lost 3 kg. This is amazing! I really enjoy this.

There are emerging integrative health approaches in migraine therapy that may help manage symptoms, reduce triggers, and alleviate pain. The current treatment of migraines often involves medication therapy, diet, and/or lifestyle modifications. There is growing evidence that dietary modifications, reducing environmental exposures, managing stress, and supplementation to correct nutrient deficiencies have prophylactic and therapeutic benefits on migraine prevention and treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have found that many of our clients feel a lot better after a very short time and have started doing heavier exercises (outside the prescribed program) which have given them tension headaches. We strongly advise that you follow the program throughout the period.

If you go outside the program, please be careful and do not put the problem areas under too much stress – for many, this is typically in the neck. For example, going for a 30-mile bike ride is not recommended due to the stress on the neck.

That is very difficult to answer. It all depends on the problem that causes the migraine/TTH.
We have seen instant improvements in stress and sleep-related headaches. However, if the problem is related to physical factors, it might take some time.
For instance, neck and shoulder muscles are often weak in migraine patients, and it takes time to build these muscles.

The goal of the program is to reduce migraine and TTH. Many will live with this for their entire life. However, this program will most likely reduce the number and intensity of any migraines and headaches.

First of all, we would like you to do the free screening to see if we are able to help you.
Many of our clients ‘have tried everything.’ As migraine is a complex problem, we treat it holistically. A problem triggers migraine and tension-type headaches. Therefore, we search for triggers that can cause your migraines/TTH, and we start treating those problems.
Many of our patients have several problems – we treat them all.
The program makes changes to your day-to-day life – these are small and enjoyable changes and could be done by everyone. For some, the biggest change might be that we cut out ultra-processed food like chicken nuggets, etc., from their diet.

For some, migraine comes from sleep deprivation – which in many cases is caused by kids being awake at night. This is difficult to treat.

We have too little information about the effects of COVID-19 to tell if the program is helping with COVID-related headaches.
However, for many people, the coronavirus has been very stressful, and the headaches could be a symptom of stress.

We always recommend seeing your MD to check if there are any serious diseases that could causing your migraine.

The 90-day program costs $179. If you want to extend the program on a monthly basis, the cost of the additional months is $59. The program stops automatically after the 90-days. If you wish to continue, you will need to extend it in your account.

The screening is free. Based on this, you will see if we can treat you or not. When you start using the program, you receive professional treatment like you would at a physical therapist or similar. We help people who want to get better and understand the importance of our program.

We only offer the 90-day program plus the choice of continuing month by month. The program has short goals, which can be reached in a few weeks, and it also has long-term goals, which, for some, could take months.

The program is designed to make lasting changes to your life. From our experience, a shorter time will not work as well.

This program is for you if you want to try to remove possible triggers for your migraine and TTH.
The program is a kickstarter for a better life and will improve your body and mind. The program will make some changes in your lifestyle, so you need to be willing to give something up and test new things.
Yes. Being predisposed to migraines does not mean that you can’t be helped. There are several problems that could be genetic that we can treat.
If you are predisposed, you might be living with migraine and TTH in the future. It is important that you map the triggers so that you can avoid these in the future.
