The relationship of stress and illness is of interest to anyone maintaining  their health. We all have stress in our daily lives relating to work, family,  environment, society. Mental tensions, frustrations, and insecurity are among  the most damaging. Stress causes the release of hormones that create  vasoconstriction--vessel shrinking--and reduced circulation. Affected by stress,  the heart works harder, breathing becomes rapid and shallow, and digestion  slows. Nearly every body process is degraded. Psychosomatic studies show how  stress factors can cause migraines, hypertension, depression, some peptic  ulcers, etc. Researchers have estimated that 80% of disease is stress  related. Soothing and relaxing massage therapy can help by counteracting stress  effects.

Massage has a definite psychological effect. Since massage  animates the tactile sense, the body's primary sense, it brings people into the  here and now and away from tension generated by constant preoccupation with  problems. Also, loosening of muscle tension or armoring--the physical  counterpart to how we defend and protect ourselves from psychological pain--can  lead to freeing of repressed emotions.
The theories of therapeutic massage are scientific in character, but the actual  application of these theories is an art, for it involves the healing sense,  sensitivity of touch, insight, and intuition. It is a unique way of  communicating without words, sharing energy, enjoying pleasurable relaxation,  and experiencing peace of mind. Massage is often attributed to have ethereal  spiritual effects akin to those of meditation.
