Isophit: Greater Isometric Muscle Strength Linked to Fewer Tension-Typ

Headaches can be a real pain – quite literally!

Whether you experience occasional tension-type headaches or are burdened with chronic tension-type headaches, finding relief is a top priority. Fortunately, recent research conducted by the Danish Headache Centre, the University of Southern Denmark, and esteemed institutions like the VU University Medical in Amsterdam and the University of Antwerp has uncovered an intriguing connection between poor isometric muscle strength and headache symptoms. So, if you're tired of relying on painkillers and seeking a more natural approach, it's time to explore the potential of Isophit and isometric training. Let's dive into the details and discover how you can bid farewell to those pesky headaches.

Tension-type headaches are the most common type of headache, causing mild to moderate pain that feels like a tight band squeezing your head. These headaches can be occasional or frequent, and for some unfortunate individuals, they become chronic and seemingly never-ending.

Researchers from the Danish Headache Centre, the University of Southern Denmark, the VU University Medical, and the University of Antwerp have delved into the fascinating relationship between isometric muscle strength and headaches. In a study published in Cephalalgia, individuals with tension-type headaches were found to have lower isometric neck extension and shoulder abduction strength compared to those without headaches (2016). Additionally, another study published in Pain Physician Journal, conducted by researchers from the VU University Medical and the University of Antwerp, found that pressure pain and low isometric strength of neck flexors were related in patients with chronic tension-type headaches (2015).

With Isophit you can easily design and execute a strategic program to target and strengthen the muscles in your neck and shoulder. With Isophit, you can engage in isometric exercises that specifically focus on your neck flexors and extensors. By performing controlled contractions against the Isophit’s restraint bar, you can give these muscles the workout they need to combat those stubborn headaches.
