π The Body Keeps the Score
One of the biggest lessons from the book-The Body Keeps the Score is that our experiences donβt just live in our minds β they can become stored in our bodies.
Stress, worry, overwhelm and emotional strain can show up as physical symptoms long before we realise whatβs happening.
Five key takeaways:
β The body remembers stress
Chronic stress can contribute to muscle tension, headaches, jaw pain, digestive issues and poor sleep.
β The nervous system affects everything
When we stay in βfight or flightβ mode, it can impact pain levels, hormones, digestion, recovery and overall wellbeing.
β Trauma and stress can become physical
Many people carry tension in their neck, shoulders, chest, hips and lower back without realising why.
β Feeling safe helps the body heal
The body recovers best when the nervous system feels calm, supported and regulated.
β Movement and body-based therapies matter
Physical therapies can help reconnect people with their bodies and support recovery from chronic stress and tension.
How remedial massage can help:
π Reduce muscle tension and guarding
π Calm the nervous system
π Improve circulation and mobility
π Encourage relaxation and recovery
π Support the bodyβs natural healing processes
Sometimes pain isnβt just about muscles.
Sometimes itβs a sign that the body has been carrying too much for too long.
Your body is always communicating. Learning to listen is the first step toward healing.
