Eyestrain Ease | Relief Tension Headache and Eye Pain with Eye Stretches

Описание: Relax your eyes and release tension with eye "stretches"


With this exercise I teach techniques to release the area of ​​the eyes, forehead, face and trigeminal nerve behind the eyes and to release tension headaches.



I recommend doing the exercises regularly, for example, during the workday to prevent (tension) headaches. You can do just one exercise or all of them. Also, look as far away as possible during the day so that your eyes can rest. Especially if you work staring at screens.



Below are the most important points for doing the exercise, if you want to do the exercise anywhere, anytime, even without a video.

Notes for doing the exercise without video
