Body aches and pains are related to stress. How does it work and what to do?

We experience a variety of emotions on a daily basis, and each one is a trigger for stress. Therefore, clamps and trigger points will always appear in the body. Let’s figure out if they can go away on their own and how to minimize their effects on muscle health.

Thus, a trigger point is formed, which leads to pain in certain areas of the body – most commonly the lower back, shoulder blades, and neck.

The masseur’s job is to find and relax this point, establish a full metabolism and get rid of the pulling constant pain.

Stress in a metropolis – how to avoid it

If you live in a big city, it is unlikely that you can completely avoid worries and anxieties. Busy traffic on the roads, endless deadlines and meetings, lack of a full recovery regime and household tasks – all this has a strong cumulative effect on the body. Many people don’t even realize it until later.

According to the personal rating of massage therapists, work is at the top of the list of stressors. Tension in communication with superiors, unclosed tasks, calls at off-hours – this is faced, perhaps, every office employee almost every day.

What to do

It sounds terribly trivial, but it is necessary to establish a recovery regimen. Many people believe that sports help in the fight against stress – all true, but only partly.

If you’ve already developed a tightness, pumping it up will only make the pain process worse. Stretching, rollers for myofascial release, Kuznetsov applicator, massage – many people neglect this. But these are necessary measures if you want to live a full life without constant pain in the body.
