Stress & Fatigue

“Tension is who you think you should be.

Relaxation is who you are.” Chinese proverb

The demands of life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Finding the time and energy needed to complete the tasks of daily living can seem impossible. Physical symptoms such as muscular tension, decreased sex drive, sleeping problems, headaches, chest pain, digestive issues, high blood pressure and restlessness can be the result of prolonged stress. Fatigue and lack of motivation, along with feeling overwhelmed, anxious, irritable, angry, sad or depressed may also be the body’s response to stress.

Relaxation is a wonderful form of stress relief, and massage therapy helps to bring the body into a deep state of relaxation by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system. Massage therapy also relaxes the muscles, reduces pain, calms the mind, reduces anxiety and depression and promotes general a sense of well being.

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are based heavily on the principles of balance and harmony. Stress and fatigue occur when life is out of balance - in other words, when a person works too much and rests too little.
