Stress Management

Although a little stress is desirable and necessary for “getting on” in life, ongoing bad stress has already been rated as the worst “invisible enemy” for health in the 21st century. Being continuously under duress and dealing with deadlines your body reacts with the same old fighting scheme learned during evolution millions of years ago: It floods the body system with the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline to be ready for “fight and flight“. Not designed to cope with stress non-stop, people nowadays suffer from this ongoing “hormonal poisoning“ and often experience stress related ailments including serious long-term effects on overall health and well-being.

Stress related ailments include

Headache & migraines Sleeplessness Depression Anxiety Muscle tenseness Neck & back pain Shortness of breath Hormonal imbalances Hypertension Chronic fatigue Indigestion Adrenal burn-out

Be in Balance offers a variety of Natural Therapies.

Treatments combine different therapy styles and elements tailored and adapted to suit your individual needs:

• Raynor Technique Therapeutic Massage

A combination of therapeutic massage techniques working with the client‘s breathing pattern toward the total release of muscle tension and unblocked meridians (energy pathways in the body). Stimulating circulation, promotes the release of toxins and allows the natural flow of oxygen and nutrients to the body cells.

• Reflexology

The application of pressure and stimulation on precise reflex points on the feet or hands, is based on the principle that reflex points correspond to all body parts. This ancient Chinese non-invasive therapy increases circulation and releases blockages throughout the whole body, thus helping the body to get back into balance.

• Acupressure

A technique based on the ancient Chinese principals of acupuncture but involving finger pressure along specific points in the body (meridians) instead of needles. It unblocks meridians thus increasing energy flow which promotes the body‘s self-healing abilities and homoeostasis.

• Lymphatic Drainage

A technique involving very light stroking and gentle pumping on appropriate areas to unblock stagnant and congested lymph vessels and to stimulate lymph flow through the body. A cleared lymphatic system acts as natural cellular disposal for toxins and metabolic by-products. It is also important for cell repair, a good immunological defence, nutrient transport and moreover vital for oxygen uptake in the blood.

• Craniosacral Therapy

A light-touch manual therapy with emphasis on the skull down the spine to the tailbone area enhancing natural healing mechanisms to release the negative effects of stress within the central nervous system.
