Massage Therapy: Physical and Psychological Effects on Stress and Pain
Stress
Stress can have many triggers and many different effects on people. In our modern world, people are often under daily pressure to achieve increasing numbers of tasks in shorter periods of time.
Stress may contribute to lowered immunity and can be a significant factor in the development of symptoms of both physical and mental illness.
One common physical symptom of stress is muscle tension. This often results in pain such as headaches, backache and a sore neck.
