In this video Nautilus Sports/Medical Industries alumni and SuperSlow and SuperStatics founder Ken Hutchins explains and demonstrates how to perform the sub-occipital squeeze technique. This technique can significantly reduce the intensity of or even provide complete relief from various types of headaches, including exercise-induced, tension, migraine, sinus, and even headaches associated with menstruation.
My wife Emma (the subject in this video) sometimes suffers tension headaches as well as headaches while on her period, and the sub-occipital squeeze technique demonstrated here has consistently provided complete relief.
If you are an exercise instructor this information could potentially save your business if a client experiences an exercise induced headache (there is a story about this involving Doug McGuff, MD in Ken’s book Heart Strong: How We Learned to Condition the Heart), as well as prevent clients from needing to cancel sessions due to other types of headaches.
I was unable to find the exact neck massager/pressure-point tool demonstrated in the video, but found a similar one at https://amzn.to/2XrWlT2 which I have ordered for testing. I will update this post with comments on it once I am able to test it.

Good to see Ken back at it. I met him about 5 years ago when he was in Conroe, TX and he put me through a great workout.
