The consequences of body stress are far-reaching and varied. Untreated and prolonged body stress pushes your body to the point of stress overload. The stress becomes locked in to the body, manifesting as lines of tension. This tension compresses tissue; irritates and even blocks nerve pathways. As a result:

• Internal organs may stop functioning optimally, leading to:
  • Illness
  • Discomfort or pain
  • Continuous listlessness and tiredness

• Spinal nerve supply may be compromised, causing:
  • Stiffness
  • Posture distortion
  • Loss of flexibility
  • Numbness
  • Pain

• You may also feel:
  • Tense
  • Tired
  • Lacking in energy and enthusiasm for life

• Other common symptoms may occur, such as:
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Backache
  • Indigestion
  • Tingling and/or numbness in the arms and hands
  • Muscle cramping
  • Burning and painful feet

It is also possible for body stress to be present without suffering pain or stiffness. Have you simply come to accept as normal the sense of being less than 100% well?

While stress or tension remains stored in the body, the normal tone of the body is disturbed; decreasing its general efficiency and weakening its defence mechanisms. The body, therefore, becomes less and less able to deal with the stresses we experience daily, and we move further and further away from the optimum state of health.
