This thing seems to have the same effect of an occipital release, which you can do for free with a friend or by yourself (a little harder). By putting pressure btwn the base of the head where it meets the neck and holding your skin taut toward your the tip of your head, you relax the bursa in your face and your sinuses too...

I tried this using real boobs and found it worked even better. Possibly Dr Upledger should be informed of this new research?

Reminds me of technique offer by a physical therapist who advised me to put two golf balls in a tube sock, tie it tight, and rest my head on it in the same manner. (Started with tennis balls and worked my way down to the golf balls.)
A measure of relief. Much cheaper!

Aless expensive, do-it -yourself technique is to tape two tennis balls together(around them both then around in between them with medical tape does it) and use just like this gadget, for a lot less money. Especially if you live near a tennis court and find those balls hit just a little to far!

When I had physical therapy for a whiplash injury my Therapist told me to use a hardcover book and to rest my head on the edge of it in that area. It helped to relax the layers of muscle covering the skull. Yes, there are muscles there. It really did work for me.

I have had one of these for over 5 years. I take it with me when I travel, and use it in the car. I use it for trigger point and occipital type headaches. It is WONDERFUL. I received mine from a cranio-sacral therapist... thank you!!! Great for tense muscles also. It's soft enough to not hurt you, but tough enough to use to knead out knots. Multi purpose tool that has saved me for years!! I love my red boobies!

I use two tennis balls tied in a sock, it does exactly the same thing at a fraction of the price. Works pretty well to relax the neck.

Dr. MB, D.O. — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 01:24:35 GMT

I'm an osteopathic physician from Chicago and this type of treatment is used frequently by D.O.'s to help relieve tension and stress in our patients, as well as to increase lyphatic flow throughout the body. It is, essentially, a way to help 'stretch' the muscles in the head and neck. There are muscles of the head, neck and back that cross the line between the skull and spine that, when put into a position of ease, will suddenly release (the tingling feeling felt, as described above) and 'loosen up.' Once the muscle tension is relieved, the arteries/veins/lyphatics/nerves are no longer impinged upon by the muscle, thus improving bloodflow and reducing pain.

Craniosacral manipulation was introduced by Dr. Sutherland (a D.O.) well over half a century ago and anyone suffering from headaches or migraines should look up their local D.O. and see if they offer cranial manipulation. Most folks come to us after they do not find relief from their pain from our M.D. couterparts and, once we fix the root of the problem, wind up coming back to us for life. We simply put things back into their proper place and the body heals itself.

The American Osteopathic Association can provide you with more information about craniosacral manipulation and osteopathic medicine if you are interested.
