Today my client presented with right hip & knee pain that has been coming and going; no recent injury.
That told me this could be held emotions
We talked about Emotional Pain
They shared with me their father is not well they recently had a talk about his passing away and how they will handle the situation ….
Knee and hip pain or tension is associated with emotions related to the external world, masculine energy, and the ability to move forward.
Physical and emotional tension, particularly related to stress, fear, or unresolved trauma, is believed to become trapped in the hips and surrounding muscles, affecting movement and well-being.
Releasing these emotions can involve gentle movement, stretching, and sometimes professional guidance from a therapist.
Right Knee and Hip: Symbolic Meanings
External World & Movement:
The right side of the body is often linked to how we interact with the external world and approach our path forward.
Masculine Principle & Father Figure:
In some belief systems, the right side represents masculine energy and the father figure in your life.
Fear of Moving Forward:
Right-sided tension can symbolize a fear or inability to move forward in life or take action.
The Connection Between Hips, Knees, and Emotions
Storage of Emotions:
Your hips are a powerful emotional storage center, holding tension and even trauma from stress, anxiety, and fear.
Fight or Flight Response:
The muscles around the hips tend to contract and tense up during stressful situations as part of the "fight or flight" response, and if not fully processed, this tension and the associated emotions can become trapped.
Trauma:
Unresolved trauma can be held in the hip region, leading to physical discomfort and requiring a gradual process of release.
Releasing Tension and Emotions
Movement and Stretching:
Gentle hip-opening exercises and stretches, like those found in yoga, can help release physical and emotional tension.
Somatic Awareness:
Becoming aware of the sensations in your hips and listening to your body can help you identify and process trapped emotions.
Professional Support:
A certified therapist can provide effective tools for addressing unresolved trauma, stress, and blocked emotions contributing to physical pain.
