Insomnia has links to elevated stress levels where the fight or flight system is ready and can be triggered by the slightest of stimuli. To not be able to sleep cripples people's ability to function in life and leaves the body and mind vulnerable to disease. To massage tense and overworked muscles and lengthen tissue releases tension and allows the body to heal, relax and eliminate toxins. One technique I use is the CV4 and involves palpating the mid area of the neck (CV4) and results in the discharging of cerebrospinal fluid that then leads to a relaxed state. There are other techniques, and it is up to the client and therapist to define a treatment plan that works. From Kasem, Harrow Massage Therapist in Harrow, London. www.harrowmassagetherapy.com
