A study by T. Meyers investigates the osteopathic influence on neck and shoulder pain and feelings of anxiety and stress in office workers. Significant progress was achieved after just 25 minutes of treatment with a novel mind-body therapy. Compared to a control group, the study demonstrated immediate and long-term benefits of the ‘mind-body therapy,’ evidenced by a greater increase in autonomic balance, as well as a reduction in perceived neck and shoulder pain, stress, and anxiety among office workers.<\/p>\n
Methods<\/strong>: 40 office workers (34 women, 6 men, age group: 30-49) with work-related stress and neck and shoulder pain were randomly assigned to either a control group (recovery) or a treatment group. The ‘Reaset Approach’ treatment consists of a novel mind-body therapy that integrates osteopathic principles. Trait anxiety scale and stress questionnaires were completed before and 21 days after the intervention. Resting HRV was derived from the time domain before and after the intervention. State anxiety scale and pain questionnaires were completed before and after the intervention. Pain questionnaires were completed again on the 3rd and 21st days after treatment.Results<\/strong>: (Treatment group vs. control group): In the treatment group (pre vs. post), HRV indices were significantly increased (p<0.001) and pain intensity was significantly reduced (p<0.001). Pain intensity was significantly reduced on the 3rd follow-up day (vs. pre) in the treatment group (p<0.05) and in the control group (p <0.001). On the 21st follow-up day (vs. pre), pain intensity was significantly reduced in the treatment group (p<0.05). State anxiety (pre vs. post) was significantly reduced in the treatment group (p<0.001) and the control group (p<0.05). Stress burden (pre vs. 21st day post) was significantly reduced in the treatment group (p<0.05). The reduction in trait anxiety (pre vs. 21st day post) (treatment group: p = 0.09; control group: p = 0.87) was not significant. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A study by T.
