Stress measurement and management
Stress is the negative effect of sustained pressure over and above the individuals’ ability to cope with it.
Research from Harvard University shows that work stress is as harmful to health as smoking or taking no exercise. The Confederation of British Industry estimates business lost £10.2 billion in 1998 rough lost productivity caused by stress.
Can anything be done?

At the Chiron Clinic we not only have the ability to measure stress and assess how well your system is coping with it, but we can also advise on the nutritional and lifestyle changes needed to reduce stress and its impact on the body. We also have at our fingertips electro-magnetic technology that can reduce stress and improve our resilience to it as well as nutrition to bolster your stress defence.These combined solutions have been shown to improve stress resilience, performance and also general health.
Exactly how is this test carried out?
This can be assessed by a 7- minute HRV reading. This requires placement of a self-applied sonic probe around the chest (shown below) and a 7-8 minute reading initially supine and then standing. By this measurement we are able to objectively establish the individual’s stress hardiness. The results are charted immediately.
How long does this stress test take?
Allow 45 minutes in total. This would include the actual HRV test and your consultation.
