"The combination of these movements will make the body more relaxed and stretch stiff muscles, so that blood flow throughout the body becomes smoother," said Islam.

Both compress warm water on the neck. Warm water compresses with a temperature of 40-50C have a therapeutic effect that can reduce pain, reduce muscle spasms, increase blood flow and relax muscles to blood vessels and dilate blood vessels so that the intake of oxygen and brain nutrients to brain tissue increases.
