Dizziness migraine comes and goes

I was with a spine clinic for many years and spent about 5 years in rehap with a variety of therapies. They did a lot of tens and massage. I agree the myofascial therapy would be helpful. I did this at my expense for about 6 months. Extremely painful and was $80 for 20 minutes. Insurance wouldn't cover it. I have military insurance. From the link you provided, there isn't one advertised within a 3 hour radius of where I am. I also can't see a chiro because of the lack of density in my spine. The hammer can be done but it is not effective. I forgot to mention I have Ehlers Danlos - connective tissue disorder. There are people around her that do massage but none that understand the myofascial. :/ thanks for suggestion.

@magwil01 You may want to go to the myofascialrelease.com website and look for their videos that explain some stretching. If you understand how to do it, there can be things you can do yourself to stretch at home. I use some tools like balls, or a thing designed for massage that is a curved handle with small rubber knobs on the end. I can use that to press into and stretch my neck to loosen the tightness. There are some books about this with pictures, I have this book and it's pretty good. You want to work on any muscle that is hard or tender. The key to getting the release with your stretch is you have to wait about 5 minutes for the tissue to unwind and soften on it's own. Talking about this with a physical therapist may help if you show them this book, and they may be able to suggest areas to work on.
