ENCYCLOPEDIA OF USES
HEADACHES (DUE TO STRESS)
Headaches and stomachaches are the most common physical symptoms related to stress. This can inhibit ability to focus, concentrate, and enjoy daily activities. BLAST® can help reduce stress and the physical discomfort.
BLAST® Intervenes
TouchPoint Solution’s wearable devices are embedded with patented BLAST® (bi-lateral alternating stimulation tactile) technology.BLAST® is scientifically proven to alter the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stress.The wearables emit alternating vibrations that disengage your standard stress response (sympathetic nervous system), and shift you into the calm, logical side of your brain (parasympathetic nervous system).
Change Occurs
When using BLAST® consistently to manage aggressive behavior, overtime you may not need them in certain situations as they become less stressful because of BLAST®. One of the ways BLAST® works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. With continued use of BLAST®, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones that can cause aggressive behavior.
Measurable Impact
Excess levels of cortisol may be released as your body’s response to stress that may result in agitation and irritability. A triple blind placebo-controlled trial with athletes showed TouchPoints™ stabilized cortisol levels during stressful events and reduced the level of stress. (Leal-Junior, E. C., Casalechi, H.
