Has anyone tried physical therapy for their migraine pain? Maybe I need to travel to Louisville.

What does physical therapy actually involve? Their website seems to imply manipulation of the neck area, although I might be misreading what they claim. However, their description of what a migraine is, is too simplistic to give me a lot of confidence. On the other hand, if other forms of treatment haven't been of much help, what have you got to loose?

I'm not 100% sure what's involved there either.

I've had loads of similar treatments, such as osteopathy, chiropractic, physiotherapy and even myofascial release. None has helped my migraines, but it still be worth a go, as it certainly seems to help some people.
