Massage Applications To Relax and Combat Stress

Stress and anxiety are two great scourges of Western society . A frantic pace of life can make us weaken, both physically and psychologically, so it is best to deal with the problem before it becomes chronic. The restlessness is logical before a job promotion, a move or the umpteenth argument of a couple, but there comes a point where our body releases warnings continuously, as if the threat pursued us: we talk about physical ailments without just cause, which often they derive in profiles of hypochondria.



The study 'Perception and habits of the Spanish population around stress', from the Cinfa pharmaceutical laboratory , concludes that four out of ten Spaniards (12.5 million) experience it habitually . The overload of work is the main trigger for 60.3% of those affected, who talk with their friends to feel better. Only 4.4% seek professional support, indispensable to settle the issue once and for all.

Psychological therapy continues to be taboo , although the ideal is not having to specify it. The good news is that everyday stress can be combated with normally reviled relaxation. And there are some techniques that we can learn using that device that accompanies us day and night: the smartphone. Ironically, the cause of our sleeplessness (the impossibility of separating the professional from the personal) can solve the ballot thanks to this selection of applications.
