stress relief

A prolonged situation of stress causes our body’s reserves to gradually deplete, making us increasingly vulnerable to certain diseases. We can really define stress as a series of uncontrolled responses of our body to any requirement, which occurs in both positive and negative situations. In these situations, the body acts by activating a series of emergency mechanisms essential for survival, especially in hostile environments.

Stress is really nothing more than a state of alarm, of constant tension that forces our body to give its maximum and that ends up exploding somewhere, usually in the form of some kind of disease or health problem. Physiotherapy is one of the best treatments we can follow in times of stress. Physiotherapists exclusively help their patients to relax, always trying to maintain a balance between mind and body.

When a person suffers a period of psychological stress, physical problems such as muscle spasms, migraines, digestive problems, ulcers, etc. will appear in parallel. On the other hand, due to the important link between both zones, when one of them is altered, it can also be favored from the other. That is, when a person has a mental disorder, it can be favored by physiotherapy.

Sleep better

All studies and research have shown that sleeping an average of eight hours a day is highly recommended to stay young, but what happens when we spend much more time sleeping? If you don’t have a proper sleep routine, you may be at risk of aging prematurely.

Physiotherapy can help prevent sleep disorders, through hydrotherapy, thermotherapy, electrotherapy or lymphatic drainage, thus constituting an “ideal” relaxation method, especially when applied to the face, head and neck.

Physiotherapy promotes proper blood circulation. Most of us don’t use many muscles properly. In addition, poor posture and tight clothing prevent optimal blood circulation. Physiotherapy improves blood circulation in your body, which brings many positive results, including glowing skin and better hair.

When you suffer from poor blood circulation, you notice the first effects in your legs. Thus, you begin to suffer from swelling and tired legs. Poor circulation occurs when the extremities are unable to properly pump blood back to the heart, as they must exert great effort against gravity. There are several treatments that your physical therapist can perform to help improve your blood circulation.

Hormonal Balance

Hormones work together in a complex system of delicately interconnected relationships like a symphony in an orchestra, if a single instrument is out of tune it doesn’t work, or it overpowers the others and can jeopardize the entire performance.
