Mind-Body Relief and Prevention of Headache and Migraine
Transcranial Somatic Therapy (tST) aka The Mundo Method is a specialized hands-on therapy that uses subtle touch and focused concentration to relieve acute headache and migraine and their associated symptoms on the spot. The therapy can be applied by a practitioner or self-applied! This “touch biofeedback” protocol works with the sensations of the headache rather than in a fixed spot and is a dynamic process. In addition to relief of headache pain and symptoms, tST imparts a state of calmness.
The Mundo Program is a mind-body self-care program for relief and prevention of headache and migraine. It uses practical instructions and exercises to help people manage their own headaches safely and effectively. Although it is a carefully structured, comprehensive action plan, it is not one size fits all but customized to fit the individual.
The step-by-step program guides you in becoming your own headache detective by tracking down the triggers and underlying patterns that hold your headaches in place — and addresses the challenges of conquering headaches and embracing self-care. It works because it focuses on you as a whole person not just one aspect of your life.
My clients and students (and readers of The Headache Healer’s Handbook) achieve long-lasting success because they become engaged and empowered in their own healing process. They accomplish their goals and move on with their lives — something that seemed impossible just months earlier.
Program components include:
- Experiencing the mind-body connection to headaches
- Becoming your own headache detective: discover, track, and eliminate triggers
- Implementing a headache-healthy diet
- Relieving and preventing stress and pain through practices not pills: meditation, breathing, posture, ergonomics, hands-on therapies, tST, and more
- Developing awareness of how attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, mood, and trauma affect headaches and migraine; shedding what is no longer useful, and building what has been missing
- Tracking your new practices and progress, celebrating even small victories (everything counts)
Our focus is on working with you as a whole person — mind, body, emotions, and spirit — not just teaching tips and techniques. My clients have typically tried many treatments, including complementary medicine, and want to find something that works once and for all — without medications or side effects.
