Why does my head hurt?

Perhaps for someone it will be a discovery, but it does not hurt at all. Causes of headache: tension of the upper humeral girdle and occiput, muscles, tendons and ligaments. In these places, receptors are irritated, and a headache is formed. As a result - it hurts the back of the head, forehead, sore whiskey. The pain is aggravated and accompanied or may be accompanied by nausea, when the head hurts monotonously, loss of appetite.

Let's look at this problem deeper. Why does my head hurt? Why do muscles strain? Together with stress, he does not play the main role, we ourselves are to blame for this. We accept the "forbidden" posture for the head. If we try to avoid parasitic movements and postures, we will suffer much less from headaches. And now consider the movements and poses.
