There’s gotta be more to it, I’ve seen plenty of people grind for days without nearly as much tightness as I get within a day.

I use a pair of lacrosse balls inside a little net so that they don't separate (you can also use a sock hah), lie on the floor with my head over it, and just do little chin tucks to massage out the kinks. It doesn't cure the pain (the same way a foam roller wouldn't) but it's a useful way to self massage

I have one. It’s the same issue, get tired after a while.
