The body doesn’t forget — it adapts.
Stress, grief, pressure, fear, responsibility… when the mind learns how to cope, the body learns how to brace. Muscles tighten. Breathing changes. Posture shifts. Over time, these adaptations become patterns stored in tissue and nervous system responses.
This is why pain and tension don’t always come from injury.
Sometimes they come from experience.
Massage supports the body by offering something different — safety, awareness, and release — allowing long-held patterns to soften without needing to relive them.
Healing isn’t about forcing change.
It’s about letting the body know it no longer has to hold everything together.
