Within this 90-minute ‘Stress Free Me’ treatment you will be taught practical skills to reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety and enjoy a tailored massage therapy treatment focusing on reducing musculoskeletal tension in the primary and accessory breathing muscles.
These muscles are targeted as stress and anxiety culminate in hyperventilation and the rib and neck muscles that should assist the diaphragm in the active phase of breathing each inhalation do the lion’s share of the work. Headaches, migraines, jaw pain, neck and shoulder pain to name a few coexist with stress and anxiety and shallow, fast hyperventilation breathing.
