Summary

This study aims to evaluate potential correlation of stress as estimated by certain biological markers, namely saliva cortisol, Heart rate variability (HRV), Electromyography (EMG) with musculoskeletal system health status, and assess the impact of a stress management intervention..The intervention group will be trained to apply two evidence based stress management techniques and they will be guided with tips and advice about musculoskeletal health.

Impact of the intervention upon measured stress related markers will be assessed.

Interventions

OTHER

Diaphragmatic breathing (DF)

Diaphragmatic breathing (DF), also known as belly or abdominal breathing, is a technique that can teach people how to use their diaphragm correctly while breathing, in order to activate the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system and to control stress.

OTHER

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR)

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a technique that is helpful in the reduction of stress. PMR by alternately tensing and relaxing different muscle groups in the body helps participants to become more aware of physical sensations and can be particularly helpful to muscle tension and relaxation.
