The stretches that fixed my migraines

After all the different treatments, I really think stretching is what eliminated my migraines.  Every day, multiple times a day, I did the following:

1. Standing or sitting straight up, reach straight down with your left hand as if you're driving your shoulder to the floor.  At the same time, with your right hand gently pull your head sideways like you're reaching for the floor with your ear.  You should feel a gentle stretch on the left side of your neck.  After 10-15 seconds, do the same thing for your right side.
2. From the same seated or standing position, place your left hand on the back of your head. Your elbow should be facing up and your arm should be as close to parallel to your body as you can make it.  With your hand in that position, gently push your left shoulder towards the floor, while keeping your elbow in the same position.  At the same time, tile your head to the right side as before.  After about 10-15 seconds, do the same for your right side.
3. With your back straight, from a seated position, gently pull your head down, so that your chin is tucked in to your chest.  Hold gently for about 10-15 seconds.  You may feel a gentle stretch throughout your entire back.
