Massage Therapy And Stress Reduction

If you find a good massage therapist and it is safe for your condition it may well help back pain and stress.

 Massage therapy can work on many levels if you have a good therapist. It can be a time for you, a time for pampering and healing.


There are different massages you can have from sports massage for injury to a nice pampering massage just for relaxation. Best to discuss your needs with a qualified, insured massage therapist first. 
If done with oils it can help you on an emotional level as well eg lavender is calming, jasmine can help lift anxiety and depression, neroli is a sedative and antidepressant, helping with anxiety, shock and insomnia. These are simply examples.
Please consult with a qualified aromatherapist if you want to use oils for therapeutic reasons.
It can also help with some back pain and sciatica as part of your strategy but you must check the massage therapist is competent and experienced in working with back pain.
Always discuss your symptoms and condition with them first and check that they are confident working with you. Ensure they are qualified and certified.

Even if you don't want to go for a massage a simple hand massage you can do yourself just with a pre-blended massage oil for relaxation can be very soothing.
There is more to life than increasing its speed.

Reiki :Stress Reduction

Reiki is an ancient healing method that has been known to help many people complimenting more traditional methods.

Reiki (pronounced ray-key)is an ancient healing method, sometimes described as a laying on of hands method. It is to do with the transfer of healing energy through the giver to the receiver.
Reiki can help with physical and emotional wellbeing and should be carried out by a qualified practitioner. Reiki can help to center, calm and relax you, help with pain and improve health.
I have received wonderful relaxing Reiki treatments and went on to study Reiki One and Reiki Two practitioner level. I enjoy giving and receiving Reiki and find it very relaxing.
People receiving treatment usually sit or lie down in a comfortable position and except taking shoes off remain fully clothed. It is better as the receiver of Reiki if you wear relaxed comfortable clothing.
Reiki may also in some cases be given as part of or after a massage.

It can be helpful where massage may be too much or where you cannot bear to be touched much due to pain.  


People with certain conditions should not receive Reiki, please check with any qualified, insured practitioner before you book a session.
In the case of illness, you should always consult your healthcare provider. Reiki may be used as a complementary or additional form of treatment.

Ten tips for driving with back pain and sciatica symptoms

When I had severe back pain and sciatica symptoms I found driving to be the task that was the most difficult for me and was one of the things that still caused me to get radiating pain down my legs even when I was so much better. I need to drive for my job, for a social life and just to get things done so I tried to work out what might be the things that would help me to be able to drive with the least amount of stress on my back. One of the main difficulties with the whole process of driving is that you are essentially sitting still in a fairly confined space for long stretches at a time with little or no back movement.  People who drive for longer distances can be at risk of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), dehydration, swelling of the legs, stress and fatigue in the muscles. Often one foot is more active than the other as you accelerate etc and one hip can be pushed into an unnaturally higher position for long periods of time. However there are things you can eas...

How To Use Back Pain Support Forums Effectively.

Back pain support forums can be very useful to anyone coping with back and sciatic pain.  However in order to get the best out of them, and contribute the most to them, there are certain points to bear in mind.  I have visited and taken part in many back and neck pain forums and have learned the lessons and tips that can help you make the most of it for yourself. In my experience you can learn such a lot from people on a back or neck pain support forum.  However you do need to tread with some caution. What does, or doesn't suit one person may be completely different for some one else.  You must also ensure that you never stop any medical treatment based soley on what you read.  The great thing is though that you may well be introduced to ideas and treatments you had never heard of which you can then discuss further to see if they would suit you. The most valuable part is simply sharing your experiences and gaining ....and giving support to eac...
