We all live with a certain amount of stress varying from mild to severe. When stress levels build up, and we are not constructively dealing with them, this can have a negative effect on our physical and mental well-being.
Treatment:
Osteopathy can certainly help in easing the symptoms of stress enabling you to feel more at ease and stronger in yourself. This in turn will allow you to cope a lot better with whatever is causing the stress in the first place.
Treatment involves:
- Gentle Soft Tissue Release (such as massage) and mobilisation of any tight, restricted parts of the body allowing you to become more relaxed and pain free.
- Cranial-osteopathy treatment works primarily on the nervous system attempting to balance the over-stimulated parts which control the production and release of stress hormones (adrenalin, corticosteroids etc.). When the “dampening down” of these stress hormones occur you will automatically feel more at ease and less prone to feeling overwhelmed and super agitated.
- Dietary and exercise Advice is also very helpful in the overall treatment plan. Lots of research has proven that having a healthier diet and doing even minimal amounts of exercise will lead to feeling and looking better helping to raise self-confidence and levels of resilience.
