Exercise for Migraine: When It Helps and When It Backfires

Exercise can be one of the most helpful tools for migraine prevention, but when your body is already under strain, the wrong intensity can sometimes push you toward an attack.

In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, Diane Ducarme explores why movement can both support and challenge a migraine-sensitive nervous system, and how to find the level of exercise that works with your body rather than against it.

You’ll discover:

💡 Why regular movement may help reduce migraine frequency, even if some workouts seem to trigger symptoms

💡 The signs that exercise is exceeding your current capacity and it may be time to slow down or adjust

💡 A simple migraine-friendly movement approach you can try at home without pushing your body beyond its limits

The goal is not to exercise harder. It is to find the kind of movement that helps your nervous system become more resilient, without tipping it into overload.
