Massage the antidote to stress- Essentials for Health
Stress Management can help MS
A new study by Northwestern Medicine research, published in the journalNeurology, discovered that a weekly stress management program for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) prevented the development of new brain lesions, which often precede a flare-up of MS symptoms, like pain, loss of vision or use of limbs. Brain lesions are a marker of the disease’s activity in the brain.
Lead investigator of the study, David Mohr, professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine declares:
“This is the first time counseling or psychotherapy has been shown to affect the development of new brain lesions. In M.S., the prevention of new brain lesions is an important marker used to judge how effective medications are. The new finding is an important step and the strongest evidence we have to date that stress is involved in M.S.”
As massage is the antidote to stress and can play a real part in stress reduction, there is definitely an opportunity here for us to to help MS sufferers.
