Most of them also do not consider going to a modern doctor or physio as a reality, either, let alone attending aerobics or Pilates classes, which they probably have never even heard of. Healing in many countries and coping with stress tends to be far more community, family and person centred, so that we cannot even approximately extrapolate what we do in the West to the vast majority of situations elsewhere in the world. In those cases, one has to ensure that therapy is integrated into existing social and familial systems, and that it tries to educate as many as possible in methods of healing which the average family can apply as independently as possible - at least until such time the existing healing models and facilities change some time in the future.
