💪 Triceps: the Powerhouse on the back of our arm
Did you know the triceps is the only muscle on the back of our upper arm? It extends the elbow, stabilises pushing movements and even plays a subtle but important role in posture (think elbow extension, shoulder stability and alignment).
🔍Trigger Points & Referral Pain:
Clinically, trigger points in triceps often refer pain down the arm, sometimes into the hand and fingers. This can mimic nerve issues but often stems from muscle tension itself.
🌿 through a spiritual lens:
The triceps energetically connect to pushing away, releasing, and letting go. Tension here may reflect resistance - holding on when it’s time to trust, release, or stop forcing outcomes.
Releasing these points can feel like freeing the body and spirit from unnecessary pressure.
✨ When your triceps feel tight, ask:
Clinically: “Is my pushing/pressing work overloading my arms?”
Spiritually: “Where am I pushing too hard in life instead of flowing?”
Stretch. Release. Breathe. Let go. 💫
