I did about 6 session of very gentle body work, and even then, I felt like it was very painful. I also would get dizzyness, nausea and intense headaches after massages, but I know now it is part of my on-going vestibular issues.
I stopped massages, and now do acupuncture, daily walks and vitamins. I sometimes apply gentle pressure with my fingers (ring or middle finger) on the pressure points (around eyes, behind head/near ears, behind neck) and ice, this may help.
I think you would need to see an osteopath or gentle chiropractor who has dealt with whiplash or cervical pain after mtbi/ head injury.
It really is hard to find the specific experience to help with this condition. best of luck to you-
