Body Stress

Do you fit into any of these categories?

1. You have unexplained aches, pains or irritations which you have come to regard as normal or inevitable due to age or circumstances. Examples might be regularly waking up with a headache, accepting life with stiff knees because you’re getting older, or assuming that your shoulders are bound to ache because you feel anxious.

2. Medical investigations have revealed no explanation (perhaps fibromyalgia, sacroilitis or Meniere’s disease) for your discomfort so any treatment, such as anti-inflammatory medication, is simply dealing with the pain and not addressing its cause.

3. The treatment you are receiving for a particular condition is providing little or no improvement.

In each of these situations, it may be that the efficiency of your nervous system is being undermined.

Your body depends on communication between the brain and the rest of the body in order to perform its natural process of self-repair.

Excessive Tension on your Tissues

BODY STRESS refers to excessive tension stored in different tissues such as muscles, tendons and ligaments. When tissues are compressed, the nerves in those areas become irritated. This can have a negative impact on both the sending and receiving of nerve impulses which can affect the body’s internal communication system.

Stress is something we all encounter daily. Good stress helps keep us active, alert and aware – our pulse quickens and we feel excitement without a sense of threat or fear. Stress is a positive thing when it helps us to move forward and feel alive. However, when acute or chronic stress begins to work against us it becomes negative.
