From stress to calm: what really helps according to the experts

Stress seems almost a given these days. Deadlines, notifications, social media—we're constantly "on."
According to stress expert Dr. Luc Swinnen (in this article from HLN ) no less than 35% of Belgians experience stress, and this at an increasingly younger age.

The solution? No magic pills or complicated gadgets, but simple habits that bring your body and mind back into balance.

The core of stress according to the expert

“If you have to do more than you can do, then you are stressed,” explains Dr. Swinnen.
Our body responds to this by producing cortisol , the hormone that keeps you alert, but which consumes energy in the long term.

His advice is surprisingly simple: breathe, move and relax .
According to him, these three elements are the key to a calmer, healthier life.

Peace of mind starts with your body

Your body and brain are constantly communicating with each other.
Movement, breathing and relaxation directly influence your stress level.
A few minutes of calm breathing or relaxing in silence often has more effect than you think.

At Casada we believe in that natural way of relaxing.
Our massage chairs and massage devices Help you consciously take that moment of rest. They stimulate blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, and calm your nervous system—exactly what your body needs after a busy day.

A 15-minute massage can lower your heart rate, deepen your breathing, and reduce your cortisol levels.
You feel it immediately: more peace, more focus, more energy.

Relaxation can also be effortless

Not everyone finds peace in movement or meditation — and that's fine.
A massage moment at the end of the day is often enough to release tension.
Our massage chairs adapt to your body, recognize where the tension is and use pressure point massage to loosen muscles.

Unique to Casada: most of our massage chairs are equipped with Braintronics ® technology — an innovative combination of massage, breathing, and relaxation audio.

By combining specific sound frequencies with rhythmic massage, brain waves are guided towards a deep, meditative state.
This way you not only experience physical relaxation, but also mental peace — exactly what keeps stress under control.

Would you rather combine relaxation with gentle movement and breathing?
Then there is FlowLetic — from our range of fitness and lifestyle products — that focuses on controlled breathing, balance, and mindful movement. Ideal for those who want to actively de-stress and become more aware of their body.

Less stress, more balance

According to Dr. Swinnen, you don't combat stress with complexity, but with regularity.
By moving, breathing deeply or consciously relaxing every day, you give your body the chance to recover.
Whether you do this with a relaxing massage or a gentle FlowLetic routine — the effect is the same: more peace, less tension, more energy .

Conclusion

Science agrees: true relaxation starts with you.
With the right balance between movement, breathing and relaxation you come closer to inner peace.

At Casada, we help you do just that — with innovative products that invite you to consciously slow down every day.
