Headache from the neck? Test the pressure calmly

Some headaches feel linked to neck tension, pressure behind the head or limited rotation. PainFreeU does not diagnose the cause. It gives you a measured first step.

First check: Rate the headache or pressure from 0 to 10. Also notice neck rotation. Try one first step without pressing hard on the throat or pulse points, then measure again.

Use the 0 to 10 loop

Write down the number before you do anything. After the first step, measure the same movement or feeling again. The goal is not to prove anything. The goal is to listen to the body with less guessing.

Stop signals: Seek medical help for sudden severe headache, fever, stiff neck, vision changes, weakness, confusion, fainting or a new unusual headache.

Next step

If the signal is mild and familiar, PFU Pocket can guide you through the first measured step. If the signal is severe, new or unclear, do not use this as medical advice.
