Get Rid of Stress through the Relaxation Massage
Stress is a disease which affects more and more people in the modern society. It determines the hormone release which leads to vasoconstriction and diminishes blood circulation.
A stressed heart works slower, breath accelerates, pulse rises and digestion is slowed down. The psychical discomfort provokes physical discomfort.
The nervousness can produce muscular tensions which materialize in contractions (involuntary and repeated muscle contractions which can provoke pain at the body and spinal column's level. This is how the cervical, lumbar, lumbago crises, headaches, rib neuralgia or back pains appear. The daily stressing events convert in nervous consumption which produces unwanted effects in the body, creating muscle tensions which cause the state of nervosity, of stress and thus, we exhaust, consciously or not, our physical and psychical energy.

Relation between stress and disease
The relation between the stress and the disease is an interesting issue for every person who wishes to maintain health. Stress determines the hormone release which leads to vasoconstriction and diminishes blood circulation. Affected by stress, the heart slows down its activity, breath becomes quick and superficial and digestion is slowed down. Almost all the body's processes are in disorder. The psychosomatic studies show the way in which stress factors can cause headaches, hypertension, nervous break-down, some peptic ulcers, etc. Researchers estimated that 80% of the diseases are caused by stress. The relaxation therapy through massage can help counterattacking all these effects.
