Stress is a whole body response that involves the nervous system, hormones, & immune processes. When stress persists, it fuels inflammation, which in turn heightens pain & reduces the body’s ability to heal.
Relaxation is the gateway to reversing this, it shifts the body out of fight or flight & into rest & repair, reminding us relaxation is not a luxury, it is an important foundation.
By prioritising relaxation before trying to “fix” the body, we interrupt the stress/inflammation pain cycle. From this place of ease, both body & mind can reorganise themselves toward balance & healing, making movement, bodywork, & mindset shifts more effective. Have you built in enough recovery time this week?
