Stress
Stress activates the sympathetic branch of our autonomic nervous system. From that we get our adrenal ‘fight or flight’ response – we become tense which leads to fatigue, poor sleep and other complications.
|
Massage does the opposite through the para-sympathetic nervous system. Our heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion and a host of other internal 'housekeeping' functions all tend back to normal under the therapist’s touch.
|
You may not be able to escape the source of your stress just now but massage will alleviate its effects and help you cope more effectively.
