1. Massage therapy and stress management.
Stress is a subject about wich the general public is increasingly
aware. It seems that every day a new study is reported in the
press or medical journals relating stress to one disease or
another. Some physicians suggest that stress may be resposible
for 75% of all diseases in the Western world including skin
diseases (e.g., psoriasis and eczema), headaches and migraine,
digestive disorders, high blood pressure and
heartrelated diseases, as well as back-ache and muscle
pain, poor eyesight and depression.
As the world in wich we live becomes increasingly stressful
both physically and emotionally we are left with two choices;
either we avoid stress, or we learn how to deal with it effectively.
It is, of course, imposible to avoid stress, and therefore the only
real solution is to find ways to manage the stresses and straines
we encounter each day. One way is the use of massage therapy.
