🪣 Bucket or threshold theory is a key concept in migraine management.
Triggers are anything that can add “load” to your system — stress, poor sleep, dehydration, weather changes. Some you can control, some you can’t.
A lot of standard advice focuses on avoidance: don’t do this, don’t do that. While trigger management matters, living in a bubble is NOT effective treatment.
Instead, the goal is to increase the size of your bucket. Yes, medications help, but don’t neglect retraining the disrupted sensory systems of the head and neck.
At Pang PT we look at vision, vestibular function, neck mobility/strength, autonomics, exertional tolerance, and more to help you build capacity so you can get back to your life.
