The best one I know of was taught to me by an excellent medical masseuse.
It's reflexology. Basically, by applying pressure to the right points, you can make your sinuses start draining.

Basically, you squeeze your toes -- the spot is roughly behind the toenail. Not the big toe, but the other ones. I put a finger on the nail and my thumb on the other side of the toe, and apply pressure. You can tell when you hit the right spot because it hurts. Apply just enough pressure that it is uncomfortable -- this will be less on the worse sinuses, and hold it. You should start to feel movement in your sinuses. Do this to all your toes. I usually do all the toes in turn, then concentrate on the ones that need it.
You can do similar things with the same area on the fingers, but it isn't quite as effective. But it is possible to do it at work without making people look at you like a madwoman.
This may well cause post-nasal drip, but it does get the stuff moving out of the sinuses.
