You’ve tried everything for your neck, shoulder, or back pain. Massage, physio, stretching, heat packs, better posture, exercises… and yet the pain keeps coming back.
Here’s what often gets missed:
Your body doesn’t just hold physical tension. It holds emotional tension too.
When physical treatments only address the muscles and structure, they’re treating the symptom - not what’s creating the tension in the first place.
That chronic tightness in your shoulders? It might be connected to what you’re carrying emotionally.
That persistent neck pain? Could be related to what you’re holding back from saying.
That lower back that won’t quit? Possibly linked to feeling unsupported in your life.
Your body is speaking in the language of pain, trying to get your attention about something deeper.
Physical treatment can bring temporary relief, but without addressing the emotional and energetic layers, the pain returns. Because the root cause is still there.
