PHYSIOTHERAPY AND MANUAL THERAPIES IN STRESS AND AXIETY

Abstract

Human body is our vehicle in this life time and it is the one that, without us noticing, is creating the perfect environment for each day. He is taking care of us being alive and experiencing every day. Our heart bits, our eyes see, our lungs breath even when we sleep or work. Our body has this amazing system that balances itself, as much as it can, when in stress or new environment. Our brain process 2000 bits data/second – as our conscious mind. Our body process 4.000.000 bits data/second – as our unconscious mind. The recent years, when high level of technology over flood our lives, a high percent of the population is experiencing a new, increasing level of stress and anxiety.
Using our brain mainly in activities that involved virtual experiences, virtual social networks and less physicality creates a huge unbalance between the conscious and unconscious, one that would result, in time, in high level of disconnection, stress, anxiety.
With the same influence is the work-related stress. Romania is one of the countries in Europe with the highest work-related stress
- 62% of the working population fear losing their jobs.

- 43% are experiencing stress related to violent work environment.
In 2017, from January to May, the Dynamic HR and Learning Network conducted a study “National Stress” revealing the fact that 99,7% of the Romanian employees suffers of burnout, stress, sadness or depression. The study was conducted on 804 employees, with ages between 26-35 years old, working in HR or Sales department. Manual therapies and physiotherapy are tools that reconnect body, mind and spirit. They help in reconnection of the conscious and unconscious mind through connecting the movements and sensitive responses of the body to the brain and mind. Active bodies, people that use movement, walks in nature and choose to exercise, as a daily routine, experience a much lower level of stress or anxiety. Through gentle manual therapies, like massage or cranio-sacral therapy, our body is assisted in reconnection to the whole communication system of our being. In therapy, the body can signal areas  of stress or which need attention or healing and could release stress and tensions. The results are seen in the health, immune system, in clarity of mind and in relaxed approach of daily life. Physiotherapy allows the body to move as a whole structure, using all muscles and joints that in virtual reality living are completely ignored and in our daily work environment are forgotten. In this, the results are seen as flexibility even in decision making, lighter breathing increasing the level of oxygen to allow the entire body to expand the communication and to adapt.
