Mind/Body Techniques for Healing
Once surgery is scheduled, the worrying often begins. Concern is natural before surgery, but medical studies have shown that reducing stress can aid your recovery process. So Take a Deep Breath! With a pre- and post-surgery relaxation program, you can explore your concerns and overcome them. Research has documented that patients who are relaxed before, during, and after surgery have less pain, fewer complications, and a faster recovery. Learning guided imagery and relaxation techniques is an inexpensive, powerful way in which people can actively participate in their own healthcare.

Benefits include a general state of relaxation, greater alertness, a growing ability to deal with situations without getting "stressed out," and an increased sense of liveliness. Learning to replace stress with the "relaxation response" also promotes a healthy heart and and better immune function.
