Why Do We Lose Our Health and Wellness In The First Place?
 

It is through the nervous system that we perceive the world, coordinate all body parts and functions, adapt to stress, and express emotion. When the brain receives more input or information than it is able to process readily, it can perceive this input as overwhelm, or trauma. This can be any type of physical, emotional, or chemical stress. Examples of such stress include heavy lifting, a fall or accidents, the loss of a loved one, relationship problems, medications and other toxins. When this happens, the spinal cord can store the information of our life experience as tension. Our body can experience this tension as muscular spasm, spinal misalignment or distortion, and decreased breathing and movement into that area. This often results in physical symptoms like neck and back pain, stiffness, headaches, altered posture, spinal degeneration, and many other chronic, long term health problems.
 

Much of what many disciplines seek to correct through massage, manipulation, and therapy can be the result of underlying, unresolved tension stored in the spine and nervous system from the accumulation of stress.

Over time the body develops physical changes to the perceived traumas and stresses throughout our life, resulting in stress physiology and defense posture. This stress physiology and defense posture limits the body's ability to recover. We may function and respond to life as if the stress is still occurring.
