Leon — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:40:41 +0000

The Tension Releasing Excercises (TRE) are a revolutionary technique in stress reduction, and the release of chronic tension held in the body.

TRE consists of a set of seven simple physical excercises. These excercises, as taught in this workshop, are designed to release the deep chronic muscular tension that is held deep within the structure of the body.

The workshop will inform you of the relationship between this muscular tension and the functions of the body. You will understand how living with chronic stress and/or experiencing the overwhelming effects of tension can impact your daily life.

The TRE are intended to be used as a self-help method that are easily learned, have immediate effects and can be integrated into a simple daily routineto help restore a sense ofinner peace and relaxation.

Acupuncture reduces cost of back pain

Leon — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:47:00 +0000

Patients with low-back pain (LBP) are less likely to visit physicians for LBP after receiving acupuncture treatment, leading to reduced healthcare spending on LBP. In a case control study carried out in Canada, 201 cases in which LBP was treated with acupuncture were compared with 804 controls. Each acupuncture group case was matched with four comparison cases from the general population with LBP, based on gender and age. The number of physician visits for the one-year period post-acupuncture decreased 49% for the acupuncture group, compared with the one-year period pre-acupuncture. In the comparison group, there was a decrease of 2% in physician visits for the same time periods. The of cost LBP-related physician services showed corresponding decreases, declining by 37% for the acupuncture group and 1% for the comparison group.
