Subject: [RC] Tension Headaches and Riding

I was wondering if there are people on this list who might have a similar
affliction to mine.  I tend to get very bad tension headaches and find
that after an event the muscles in my shoulders and neck are like steel
and I have headaches for between 1 and 3 days.

I do have a very bouncy horse (don't have the same problems with my other
one) and even have the same issues sometimes after long training rides.

Does anyone have any stretches or other remedies that they have used
before or during the ride to lessen this problem?  I really try and limit
my medication intake but so far live on ibuprofin after the event.
Thanks,
Benedikte
