Default Some advice on muscle tension

After more then 4 months i'm happy to say the concussion is healed but i have still 2 remaining sympoms (tinnitus and fatigue) that comes from extremr muscle tension in the neck area. Recently I'm starting to get trigferpoint massages for this and it really helps. Tinnitus in my left ear became intermittent, right ear is still continuous but not as loud anymore. The fatigue is still there but not as extreme anymore. I was wondering if i could have some tips on letting my muscle stay relaxed in between sessions. And I'm very curious if a tens unit can help? I want to buy a tens unit but reviews are mixed about it.

What I'm currently doing
1. Relaxing, no stress. Trying to move on with life within the boundaries of my fatigue.
2. Mild excersises like walking. Physiotherapist said my neck is still to tense to do excersise for neck.
3. Being mindfull about posture and careful with fast neck movement.
4. Apply heat to neck. No icing according to physiotherapist. Inflamation markers have been checked and are fine. It's all muscle tension.

Any other things i could do to keep it loose in between sessions? The doctor and i want to wait with muscle relaxants and try the massages first. We also chanced rhe massages from once every 2 weeks to twice a week starting this week. Doctor said i need more treatment since my muscle always tense up after a week.
