2 months post-concussion (mild head bump against a car door frame, somehow still a concussion), I experience stiff muscles around my head more frequently than full-on headaches — with no known triggers.

I can literally feel various muscles around my head (mostly in ramshorn pattern) twitching, tightening, and staying that way, every day. My PT suggested upper back strengthening, chin tucks, and dry-needling so I guess I'll try that.

Are there any other options for me? There's usually not enough pain for me to take pain relievers, but the stiffness is there for most of the day. I don't believe I have a whiplash injury but I do in general have a stiff upper back/neck (pre-concussion) so I suppose there's a connection there.
