Abstract: An apparatus and method for applying occipital pressure to a human head. The human head has frontal, parietal, and occipital bones. The frontal bone generally is on a front portion of the head, the occipital bone generally is on a back portion of the head, and the parietal bones generally extend between the frontal and occipital bones. The apparatus comprises a harness adapted to overlie the frontal bone, and a pad adapted to apply a therapeutic force to the occipital bone. The pad has first and second ends attached to the harness. And the pad has first and second protrusions that extend generally toward the harness and that are adapted to overlie the occipital bone.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for applying occiputal pressure to a human head. The human head has frontal, parietal, and occipital bones. The frontal bones generally are on a front portion of the head, the occiputal bones generally are on a back portion of the head, and the parietal bones generally extend between the frontal and parietal bones. The apparatus comprises a harness adapted to overlie the frontal bones, and a pad adapted to apply a therapeutic force to the occiputal bones. The pad has first and second ends attached to the harness. And the pad has first and second protrusions that extend generally toward the harness and that are adapted to overlie respective ones of the occipital bones.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus for applying pressure to the back of a human head having a harness for attaching the apparatus to the front portion of the head and a therapeutic pad attached to the harness. The therapeutic pad has a first and a second protrusion on an inner surface thereof, each adapted to contact an occiput at the back of the head.
