Nowadays, modern society is suffering significantly from the negative effects of stress. Stress-related illnesses include heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes type 2, acceleration of aging process, weight gain, difficulties of weight loss and obesity, anxiety, clinical depression, and more. In the recent years, many statistical and survey data indicate that severe side effects of stress are gradually debilitating more and more people. It should be noted that the U.S. economy is losing $300 billion dollars annually in costs arising from stress-related illnesses. |

In order to have a profound understanding about the power of full-body stress management massage, it is important to know and understand the mechanism of the negative side effects of stress on the human body. Imagine being confronted by a dog ready to attack you. The human body response to such a shocking stress is the "fight or flight" reaction, expressed by a sharp increase in respiratory/breathing rate, heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormone production. The above-mentioned processes are results of over-activity in the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. In our stressful daily life routine, stress-causing factors (not only those such as in the dog attack example, but also small things like the news headlines of tragedies and disasters) little by little increasingly impinge on our health, resulting in high blood pressure: hundreds of millions of Americans suffer from high blood pressure, clinical depression, anxiety, diabetes type 2, heart attacks, sleep disorders and more. Full body stress management massage is the most powerful method in healthcare concerning the capability to manage stress and its side effects.
