1. This
may
come
as
no
surprise,
but
teachers
are
among
the
most
stressed
individuals
in
the
workforce.
According
to
an
article
published
by
huffingtonpost.com,
70%
of
K-­‐12
educators
surveyed
in
2012
reported
that
they
experience
high
levels
of
disengagement.
Consequently,
many
educators
are
suffering
from
high
levels
of
stress,
which
stem
from
several
factors
in
the
work
place.
Whether
it
is
student
behavior,
lack
of
understanding,
or
frustration
with
a
lack
of
autonomy,
it
is
evident
that
many
teachers
are
at
risk
for
suffering
the
symptoms
associated
with
elevated
stress
levels.
Failure
to
manage
stress
effectively
can
lead
to
burnout.
Some
signs
are:
1. Feeling
drained
or
run
down
2. Frequent
negative
thinking
3. Irritability
4. Feeling
unappreciated
5. Constant
frustration
with
daily
tasks
And
these
are
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg!
It
is
important
that
teachers
learn
how
to
manage
stress
in
order
to
avoid
inevitable
health
issues
that
result
from
peaking
stress
levels.
A
highly
effective
method
that
can
be
used
to
aid
in
the
reduction
of
stress
symptoms
is
massage
therapy.
While
there
are
many
different
types
of
massages,
massages
in
general
can
reduce
the
severity
of
several
health
issues.
For
instance,
back
pain,
headache,
and
anxiety
are
just
some
of
the
ailments
that
massages
relieve.
More
than
12
studies
have
shown
that
depression
and
anxiety
are
reduced
with
the
help
of
massages.
This
is
due
to
the
fact
that
neurotransmitters
are
increased,
which
in
turn
lowers
the
effects
of
depression.
That
being
said,

Vie

Spa
