(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 23, 2012 ) Boca Raton, Florida -- Relaxing a patient in between massage sessions has been a primary concern for massage therapists. As massage therapists, practitioners work to help rejuvenate their patients during the session but clients often come back with very tight muscles in the following session.
Due to work pressures, personal stressors, poor diet and sedentary lifestyles, many clients find that the body pain, which had ‘magically’ disappeared under the hands of a good massage therapist, returned. For this express purpose, Dee Cohen a licensed social worker has designed the ‘How To Stay Balanced During Stressful Situations’ booklet to educate clients on how to reduce day to day stressors by following quick breathing, meditation, changing one’s perspective exercises and simple yoga routines.
Almost everyone has to deal with day to day problems that are stressful and tiring. For massage therapists, it can be frustrating to watch their clients getting stressed during the week after experiencing relief from the previous appointment. The aches and pains which were gently massaged often return when one is back in the usual environment. The booklet aims to aid individual on how daily stress can aggravate their personal health and teaches specific techniques that can be implemented during the day to counteract the stressors as they arise.
According to Dee Cohen, LCSW, "A number of massage therapists have told me that this booklet is used by them as a way to help their clients keep their muscles relaxed between sessions and they assign a few of the meditations or exercises each week for them in this take-away gift.”
Massage therapists and health practitioners can use the booklet as a gift after the session to help their clients minimize regression. The small information book has simple, but effective suggestions on how to work through common situations such as dealing with work deadlines, uncomfortable social situations and family tensions with breathing exercises, stretching postures, and visualization exercises. Properly explained techniques can be assigned to the client to help them be more aware of themselves, their bodies and their health. Many clients work well by having homework assignments given to them and a structure for practice. This gift booklet can help the client to avoid constricting their body again as well as reduce the split in someone’s life between the relaxing sessions and stressful daily routines. As massage therapy is a relationship, the therapist and the client can work together continuously during and in-between sessions to encourage the body to respond to the treatment. A client is much more invested in their health if he can participate in the healing process with homework exercises.
