Stress awareness

It simply can be the effects of today's life style work and the human condition that can lead to stress. Though its how we respond to these tasks and without a clear and focused mind, stress can make the simplest of tasks seem too much.

Workers with back pain ’should take self-help measures’

People who start to suffer from back pain at work can take some simple steps to ease the problem and prevent it from getting worse, an osteopathy organisation says.
Workers can take some self-help measures such as painkillers or exercise if the problem is getting in the way of sleeping, according to the British Osteopathic Association (BOA).

A survey by the National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the US showed more women than men used these measures in 2007 to treat back and neck pain.

Kelston Chorley, osteopath and head of professional development at the BOA, said if self-help measures do not work, people should visit their GP or osteopath.
