Those who suffer from asthma know that its symptoms are worsened with stress. People know that massage therapy tends to lower stress levels.
However, only a few combine massage and asthma as part of medication.
Although the root cause of asthma symptoms is not only stress, but stress tends to exacerbate symptoms as well and it sometimes leads to a full-blown attack.
Symptoms such as shortness of breath, tightness in the chest and coughing can trigger anxiety or stress which usually causes an increase in heart rate and breaths per minute. This puts an added strain on a respiratory system that is already working hard.
Massage can reduce stress levels and symptoms. A holistic approach to asthma treatment will seek to prevent and treat symptoms.
Deep tissue massage therapy on the shoulders, upper arms and the back can cure ailments which have to do with respiratory organs or asthma in this case.
This information is not intended for medication advice. You need to contact your doctor before applying this massage.
