A final word about the danger of stress...

Stress is one of the biggest killers in this modern-day society, impacting almost every system of our body in negative ways as the fight or flight mode is in hyper-drive and the body becomes unbalanced.

It affects us in many ways, the most common of which are tension headaches, muscular tension causing discomfort, sleep deprivation from insomnia, lowered immune system, heart palpitations, and can even
contribute to more extreme cases such as heart attacks and strokes from consistently increased blood pressure rates.

Massage is a widely accepted medium for the relief of these nasty stress side-effects, and encourages a better balance (homeostasis) of the body by working on the parasympathetic nervous system (the rest and digest mode).
