Introduction
Our bodies are subjected to many physical and mental stresses and strains throughout our lives. Some are due to living environment, work / school, relationships, diet, exercise, and even genetic inheritance. Traits affecting our temperament type are also an important factor in governing how we respond to life's challenges.
Other stresses and strains can occur as a result of accidents, impact injuries, ‘repetitive strain injuries’, poor posture, ‘whole body vibration’ micro-trauma from long hours travelling or operating machinery, overdoing things when unfit, illness and surgery, childbirth and delivery to name but a few.
