My wife has massages through a local lady and she has suffered stress since the death of her brother on march 13th this year. She is a stressed person anyway. I have looked on sites to find the best masseuse and came up with a good one. I used a different lady for a couple a few years ago and she said it took time to disperse the knots? What is the answer?

Have you read the connection I gave for healing arthritis? I know he is trying to sell a book but what he says is very similar to [url]Say No To Arthritis[/url] by Patrick Holford. For three quid for the information you could make all the difference to your lives. It is not just palliative care, it will change the body chemistry and reduce the inflammatory rsponse. You can massage all you like but if your body is still producing pro-inflammatory responses then it won't make much difference.

If you are looking to relieve stress there are many different ways to do this. One of the best as far as I am aware is EFT, a tapping technique that changes the stress response in the body to specific stressing stimuli that affects a person. Have a good loook round the site, and here on HP. Find a practitioner near you [DLMURL="http://www.aamet.org/search/search-aamet-members-test.html"]here[/DLMURL].

These approaches may not fit your current belief system - as they wouldn't have fitted mine 10 years ago - but they have changed my life and I thoroughly recommend them.

Hi TB

As CN is suggesting other methods may have to be added in an overall wellbeing package, whether physical exercise, psychologically methods or even spiritual techniques

As for "knots", sorry but if they've taken a long time to develop (which is often the case), it will take a while to dissapate(sp) them. Some "knots" will always be stubborn and you can only reduce them.

Look at it this way, tension in the back starts at primary school sitting at a desk learning to write. Decades later after several accidents, stress, poor habits etc all effect the body. That doesn't mean we give up and not bother working on our aches and pains, but try to reduce suffering and promote quality of life.

Working out the outcome of a treatment programme is difficult, we are all different and rates of healing vary.

Best wishes

RP
