What massage can me and my husband give to our son whose had a migraine all

[Leah]

day so he can sleep? He hasnt been able to fall asleep and now its bedtime so we are wondering where we could massage him or if there is a technique that works best for migraines.

He has already taken his medication, lied down in a dark room, and we have tried lots of other tips i received.

We just want him to have a peaceful night at this point.

Im a medical massage therapist. The base of the head, where the skull meets the spine is called the occiput, there's two small divets on each side. Those are pressure points for headaches. Massage with medium pressure and that base of the skull ( you can use your thumb and index finger on each side at the same time) also try massage gently along the vertabre of the neck, not on top of it, along the sides. You can also do some scalp and forhead massage. I hope he feels better poor guy. Just be gentle and if it hurts him stop.

whats his age,what meds has he had.?
really leaving him in the dark room to sleep and not staying in with him should be the best thing.
Has Migraine been diagnosed by a Doctor?
