Stone Waters Clinic & Optimum Health Centre

"Relaxation techniques are used by people who wish to relax, for a wide variety of reasons. Since the 1960's, research has indicated strong correlations between stress levels and physical and emotional health. Meditation was among the first relaxation techniques shown to have a measurable effect on stress reduction. In the 1970's, self-help books teaching relaxation techniques began to appear on bestsellers lists In 1975, The Relaxation Response by Harvard medical School professor Herbert Benson, MD and Miriam Z. Klipper was published. Their book has been credited with popularizing meditation in the United States.Research released in the 1980's indicated stronger ties between stress and health and showed benefits from a wider range of relaxation techniques than had been previously known. This research received national media attention, including a New York Times article in 1986. Relaxation techniques are also a mainstay of  complementary medicine (CAM). Six out of ten of the most commonly used CAM therapies are relaxation techniques." Excerpt from Wilkipedia
