Stress relief Head, Neck, Back Massage
Stress does not just leave your body. If we can't release it in the right way, it will find its way to different parts of the body in the form of pain and cramps. Stress manifests itself on both mental and physical levels and causes unpleasant symptoms.
I'm sure most of us have experienced that after an exhausting, stressful week, our neck or waist can start to ache, or we may feel a tightness in our stomach, or wake up at night with a cramp in our calves.
If we always tense the same muscle groups in response to stress, the affected muscles become shortened, tight and overworked, and these muscles often cause pain. If this condition persists and the muscle tension increases, it also causes negative changes in our posture.
- For example, the shoulders fall forward, causing the discs between the vertebrae to come under constant pressure, the joints to move out of their original position and cause pain, and the prolonged feeling of discomfort increases stress.
A self-recurring spiral of spasms-pain-stress develops.
That's why it's important to have help on hand after a hard day at work, in the middle of an exam period or for a mother looking after children and overcoming the fatigue of exhausting housework. But there's hardly anyone in the offices who doesn't get a sore neck or back after a certain period of time.
When we type or write with our head down for long periods of time, our neck stiffens into a posture, and this affects the blood supply.
Timely and regular massage is an excellent way to prevent problems, reduce or eliminate pain and avoid the consequences of increased muscle tension.
Pain in certain areas also draws our attention to our spiritual and mental problems.
Neuropharmacologist Candace Pert researched how the molecules of emotion affect our physical body. She believes that our body works as a kind of subconscious, and our physical body can change in response to our emotions. Our emotional memory is not only stored in our brain, but also in certain areas of our body. The muscles of our body also store certain information, and if a problem arises in a certain area, they turn on and notify us like a signaling system. It is worthwhile to pay attention to these and remedy the problem in time.
With massage, we can very well relieve the tension in us, and regular massage can also provide effective help in our blockages caused by mental problems.
