Popular therapies - what therapy do your prefer?


Nowadays in Western society people no longer feel ashamed for going to therapy. However, what can one expect from therapy?:

In general one must notice that the effect of therapy depends on the type of therapy. Therapy or treatment is the attempted remediation of a health problem, usually following a diagnosis. Some therapeutic methodologies from Western medicine, Eastern medicine, and alternative health care.

On the basis of internet statistics one might say that this is the TOP 5 of the most popular therapies:

MASSAGE therapy:

However ... what therapy do you prefer? Any suggestion?

They all have very different functions...so it depends on the needs of the person. Massage therapy is intended for the theraputic relaxation of muscles. Physical therapy is intended to restore function when limited by pain, weakness or tissue restriction. Occupational therapy is closely tied to the function of the hand, but also to general activities of daily living (how to get dressed, prepare a meal,etc.). Speech therapy is intended to restore both the prodcution and cognition of speech and swallowing. Accupuncture is usually used for pain relief of a variety of ailments.

So certainly, the needs of the patient determine the type of therapy. Someone who stutters does not need to see an occupational therapist, and one who has had their ACL repaired needs physical therapy as opposed to massage therapy, etc.

And why would anyone be ashamed of going to these therapies? (Unless one is referring to psycological therapy?)

e mail therapy is best

aroma therapy and Acupuncture
