Stress in the Human Body

In which ways is stress influencing the human body.

When you ignore your emotions or stress, or when you're not capable of dealing with these emotions, this will have effect on your emotional, psychical and/or physical well-being.
Most of the people who are stressed tend to pull their shoulders up, which can lead to shoulder
or neck complaints. But also headache and pain in the breast can be the result.

In fact, what happens is that muscles during a longer amount of time are held in a wrong position.
The result is cramp and acidification, hardness of the connective tissue and lymph fluid that is not correctly responding. These blockades lead to problems like: parts of the body that are not having enough blood, nervous stimulus which are not correctly given through or an hormonal imbalance.
Furthermore there is no (or too less) relaxation of the muscles (i.e. by sport or massage).
Tension will build up in the muscles and nervous system and can lead to problems.

Excesses of stimuli (from the environment, but also from stimulating drinks like coffee) are irritating the nervous system.
As you may know, the brains are the basis of the nervous system and directly connected with each other. With an overexcitement of the nervous system, the brains will be also overexcited and stressed.
This is influencing the whole body (think about being nervous, this is really telling you something
about the state of some of the nerves).

The human body (muscles, organs etc.) are getting exhausted. There are two things that can happen:

• People are getting aware of the tensions they have and start working into these problems
  (with or without the help of a therapist).
• Or one is taking the same path as they did before. Muscles will stay in a cramp and effect
  other parts of the body, which can result in other / new complaints (i.e. gastric complaints, pain in the back, headache etc.)

Energetic massage is giving people the rest and trust to work on theirselfs, to be aware of tensions
and to let go of them in a passive or active way. For a treatment you can come to the practice in Amsterdam, but it's also possible to get the massage at home in Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Haarlem. .
