This makes sense to me.
Occasionally I'll have headaches and in my case, what I have found is that it is always due to tight muscles in my shoulders, neck and skull.
I've learned that by lying on my bed in various positions, I can take the pressure off my neck and relax those muscles. Then I do self-massage of my muscles (traps, neck, under the skull, behind the ears, temples, forehead and the top of skull). After about 15 minutes of doing this, the headache slowly goes away over the next 2 hours.
I also found the switching to one of those memory foam pillows helped a long standing pain I had in my right neck area.
I wonder how many "migraine" headaches might really just be due to tight muscles? Has anyone studied this?
