What is stress?
Stress is the body's natural response to pressure or tension. In the face of a threat, the body produces adrenaline and cortisol — useful in the short term, but burdensome if it lasts too long. Prolonged stress can lead to fatigue, sleep problems, and overstimulation of the nervous system.

After illness, loss, or major changes, the nervous system needs time to regain balance.
Why does the body become tense under stress ?
The stress system automatically activates under pressure, anxiety, or tension. The heart beats faster, muscles tense up, and breathing quickens. Without a moment to recover, the body remains in "alarm mode," causing tension to build up. That accumulated tension is exactly what Hugsback helps to release — through gentle, deep pressure that calms the nervous system.
