Stress and anxiety are contributors to many different health issues. Current estimates suggest that 3 million people in the UK are suffering from anxiety with more than 1 in 10 people are likely to have a ‘disabling anxiety disorder’ at some stage in their life (Ref: anxietyuk.org.uk). When we feel stress or anxiety our brain allows our muscles and reflexes to become more reactive as part of the fight or flight response. This makes our muscles and joints stiffer to help protect us. A great strategy in the short term but in the long term can result in a feeling of tension, pain and headaches.
