They&#8217;re required to educate and keep a level head at the same time, which has to be a taxing task. A <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/teachers-are-more-depressed-and-anxious-than-the-average-australian-117267\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent survey<\/a> by The Conversation revealed that the wellbeing of Australian teachers can be mediocre at best, with 62% of respondents meeting the criteria of moderate to severe anxiety, which is higher than the national average.<\/p>\n<p>Teaching is among the professions that report the greatest susceptibility to stress, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/insight\/content\/doi\/10.1108\/02683940510579803\/full\/html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to Emerald Insight<\/a>. It is no wonder that some teachers&nbsp; are becoming more conscious of their own welfare.<\/p>\n<p>Felicity works in education in south-western Sydney and is also a regular Blys client. She averaged one massage per month over the last year. She works hard teaching students and is clearly passionate about what the does.

She can book a home massage in Western Sydney via the app whenever she feels she needs one, which is a fantastic remedy for long days in the classroom during school hours, and at the desk at home. Victoria, her <a href=\"https:\/\/help.getblys.com.au\/support\/solutions\/articles\/33000236824-can-i-create-my-own-list-of-therapists-that-i-liked-disliked-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">favourite therapist<\/a>, assists her in managing chronic back and neck pain with remedial massage.

Finding a way to switch off at the end of a long, busy or stressful day is crucial to managing stress.
