Migraine circle of self-care

You know how it gets when you are in the middle of a migraine attack and you can barely lift your head from the pillow or open your eyes? Well, at the point in time, all you can really do is lay low, try some drug free strategies and just get yourself through to the other side of the attack.
 
But what about when you feel OK again? What can you do then to reduce the frequency and severity of future migraines?
 
All too often, the focus when it comes to managing migraine is to consider just 2 or 3 things. Often, these are medication, avoiding food and drink triggers and perhaps some musculoskeletal therapy – perhaps chiro, massage or physio.
 
But, there is so much more we can consider. This is where I often introduce my Migraine Circle of Self-Care to clients.
 
The Circle looks at various groups of strategies we manage to give ourselves the best chance of reducing the frequency and severity of migraine.

And it's a great place to start to build your toolkit to prevent migraine attacks in the future.
​ 
The toolkit you use to manage your migraine condition will vary from someone else living with migraine – and this is where I can help guide you towards what will be most likely to help YOU.

​For example, we might look at food intolerance testing to help identify foods to avoid, or we might look at your hormonal health or nutritional status for clues on supplements that might be best for you.
 
You can start using the Migraine Circle of Self-Care right now to identify perhaps 1 or 2 things in each area that you would like to consider trying for your own migraine management toolkit.
 
And of course, reach out and book an appointment if you need any support in this area.
