Movement is Medicine: A Holistic Approach to Back Health
Don’t just treat the symptoms—address the root. ✅
It’s tempting to look for the "easy fix" (massages, injections, or temporary rubs), but true healing requires your active participation. Your back doesn’t just need physical mobility and decompression; it needs a supportive mindset.
The Mind-Body Connection
Pain isn't just physical. Our bodies often store stress, suppressed emotions, and "survival mode" tension in the lower back. If your mind is in a state of constant worry or negativity, your nervous system stays "on guard," making muscles tighter and recovery slower.
To heal the back, we must also soothe the spirit. 🧘♂️✨
Listen to Your Body
❌ Not all movement is created equal.
If an exercise hurts, it’s not a failure—it’s feedback. Your back might need a different movement pattern, more time, or more core stability.
🩷Give yourself grace. Start gently. A positive, patient mindset allows your nervous system to relax, which is the first step toward physical mobility.
Remember your back needs time to heal 🙏
