Ways to Manage Stress

Learning ways to manage stress is critical to grief recovery and managing the physical impact of emotional pain.Because losses and the resulting grief are themselves stressors, it is really important to have coping skills that keep additional stresses at a minimum.

In my ongoing search for the best ways to manage stress, I've found a professional who excels in massage therapy. Jody Story BS, LMT, CPT is a licensed massage therapist who practices in Salem, Oregon.

You can reach him at 503-507-9888. His office is located at BPM Physical Therapy in South Salem.

A local massage therapist that I can heartily recommend, is Jody Story. He practices with a group of physical therapists so you remain clothed, which for some makes the treatments more comfortable.

Jody applies his abilities helping athletes to folks suffering from chronic pain. Not only does he do a great job of nailing down the source of stress or pain but he gets amazing results.

He is especially skilled in the application of trigger point therapy and I have found this technique very effective for overall muscle soreness.

I am impressed with the variety of therapeutic techniques Jody has mastered, and I've finally discovered something that I think can change your life.

"How does stress affect health?" It's one of the most frequent questions asked by my clients. And now I have some very promising news for you...

Jody provides a comprehensive evaluation of how your stress is impacting your body aptly explains ways to manage stress step by step in a way that is easy to follow and understand.

** Several years ago at a conference, one of the attendees at my table performed PRRT on my knee. I had been unable to put any weight on that knee and could do nothing that involved kneeling.

That evening in the hotel room, I was walking all around the room, on my knees!. That worked wonderfully for five years. What a relief!! Then it came back and I searched for a local practitioner in Salem OR.

Jody's incorporation of the principles behind PRRT contribute to his amazing results.

Imagine how productive, happy and healthy our lives could be if we had access to a practitioner who knows about the way stress impacts our bodies, and can make a lasting effect on our lives.

The added bonus is that he provides recommendations for self application of trigger point principles that you can use at home.

You know I don't regularly recommend specific professional to you, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to tell you about something so powerful, effective and affordable. Jody's fees are comparable to other massage therapists in our area.

Some stresses are challenging to address. The issue of nurse work schedules and burnout is one of those stressors, and one that is near and dear to my heart. In most situations, work schedules are beyond the individual staff nurse's control.

The PRRT ^TM method described here is a perfect option. When the nurse has access to this technique, it will directly impact the amount of damage heavy work schedules can do.

Jody Story can help you if you live in the Salem area.
