Stress Relief

Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming, the body’s response can be damaging. Excess cortisol, the stress hormone, can weaken the immune system, increase blood pressure, and even contribute to weight gain. Prolonged stress can lead to a range of physical and emotional issues.

The signs of growing stress include:

– Persistent headaches
– Increased irritability
– Feelings of depression
– Chronic fatigue
– Trouble focusing
– Restlessness

When stress becomes a priority for the body, it often results in an elevated heart rate, higher blood pressure, and excessive cortisol production. As a result, less energy is available for immune defense and digestion. Over time, this imbalance can lead to withdrawal from daily activities and social interactions.

Identifying these symptoms early on allows for effective treatment to reduce stress and restore balance.

Therapeutic massage is a powerful tool in managing stress. It increases endorphin production, which enhances mood and overall well-being. Massage also helps lower blood pressure and heart rate, promoting relaxation.
