I could not do anything but maybe some stretching. When you have a headache 24/7 moving is not something you can do. I could walk but that would be it

During acute episodes, light stretching is best. Keeping active in between is important

Walking when not prone to passing out. Getting out of bed some days during a flare also counts as exercise

Exercise should be a low stretching impact of the neck. A physical therapist should show you how to do this
because you must be careful.They will teach you how to roll your neck also.There should be no pain involved.

Exercise makes pain worse. Simple stretching helps.
