Overhead Press Without the Headache: Tips for Pain-Free Lifting

Do overhead presses leave you with a pounding headache instead of stronger shoulders?

You're not alone—this is a common issue the neck and upper traps for those with migraine and other headache disorders.

In this video, I break down a very simplistic approach to stop getting headache from this shoulder exercise. It's about finding the maximize intensity your body can handle without triggering neck pain or headache.

Then it scales once that intensity is determined. This is the most simple way to start addressing the overhead press if it's causing a headache if you have migraine.

There are other programs that incorporate additional exercises, like scapular stabilization and mobility exercises. And these can be a great way to further support the neck and upper back to reduce headache and migraine attack.
