Benefits
Pain is a universal human experience that helps you cope with your environment.
It tells you part of your body has begun to be damaged . The sensation of pain
is natures warning signal. The pain of a burn tells you to pull your hand off
of a hot stove. The pain of sore muscles warns you to take it easier or tells
you that you are under stress. As hard as it is to imagine - pain is our friend.
The trick to keeping pain away is in prevention, but even with the greatest
amount of prevention we will not totally be able to rid ourselves of pain. It
is at these times we search for some sort of pain relief. PAIN RELIEF is why
the BODY LOG was developed.
Tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, and pain relievers may be prescribed, but the
side effects are often worse than the relief provided. The decision is really
whether to use unnatural or natural (BODY LOG) stimulants.
Pain is a personal experience that is extremely difficult to describe and measure.
This, in turn, makes it hard to treat since the type of treatment program can be
different for each person.
There are many methods of pain treatment is use today. We would like to briefly
discuss one which is quickly gaining popularity. This pain relief method is MASSAGE.
Massage
When we feel pain we naturally rub the place that hurts. If a child cries we
automatically pick him up and rub his back. We are trying in our own instinctive
way to bring about a physical reaction. And what happens? The spot we rubbed
does feel better. The child we held is automatically soothed.
Only recently has the general public enjoyed the satisfaction of massage. For
years only the very rich or athletes have benefited from it's soothing results.
With the growing popularity of health and nutrition more people are enjoying
the refreshing benefits of massage.
Generally we never give a second thought to our muscles. At the onset of pain
- we remember our muscles. Pain in muscles and joints can be very disturbing.
Today an alarming number of people suffer from back pains, side aches, stiff
necks and shoulders. This pain can be caused by stress, anxiety, exertion, virus
infection, accidents or any unknown cause. Both rest and exercise are important.
Warm baths, massage and stretching exercises should be performed as often as possible.
If pain is properly treated, the pain is usually eliminated. BODY LOG was designed
to help relieve pain and refresh our bodies.
