April is 📆

For people living with pain, stress can have a huge impact on pain levels. However, stress causes physical sensations in everyone, even if this sometimes goes unnoticed.

Take a pause to note what physical signals your body is giving you right now that may indicate your stressed.

Headache? Neck and shoulder tension? Jaw clenching? Stomach issues?

This will be different for everyone, will change throughout the day, and is very normal.

However, when stress becomes chronic, this can dial up the protection and sensitivity of the nervous system, which can mean physical sensations in the body persist.

Just like pain, stress is another of our protectors. What's currently dialling up your protection?

When a particular part carrying an old wound is triggered, it tends to take us over so we can't see outside of the worldview of that part.

When we relate to a triggered part from a place of compassion, we become dis-identified with the part and can make wiser choices.

👉 Personalise care for better outcomes

Let’s shift the narrative in MSK care. Check out this month's guest blog by Julia Gross: https://dralisongrimaldi.com/blog/menopause-and-musculoskeletal-health
