Science is catching up to what healers have known for centuries: trauma isnโt only stored in the mind - it imprints itself into the body. One of the main places? ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ - the connective tissue that weaves through every muscle, organ, and bone.
๐ Psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk describes in ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ๐บ ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ค๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ that trauma changes how the brain and body communicate, often leading to chronic pain, hypervigilance, or feeling โdisconnectedโ from yourself.
๐ Research from the Fascia Research Congress shows that fascia isnโt just โpacking material.โ Itโs alive โ responding to stress, tension, and even emotions. Under chronic strain, it can become sticky, rigid, or painful. Manual therapies like massage, reflexology, and even gentle energy work restore its flow, giving your nervous system a signal of safety.
โจ This is why so many clients say, โ๐ ๐ง๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ข๐ง๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ข ๐ด๐ฆ๐ด๐ด๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ.โ Itโs not just muscles relaxing โ itโs the body letting go of what it has been silently holding.
