The Connection Between Emotional Wellness and The Body

Our body and mind are connected to each other. One can affect another. When we are emotionally happy, feeling joy and love can put our body at ease. Same goes with pain, body pain can create discomfort and unease in the mind too. A person does not need to have chronic pain to have any negative effect emotionally. 

Pain affects every single one of us at any stage and often many stages of our life. Even temporary injuries have connection to negative emotions like anxiety, stress, or depression, or general mood swings. Do not develop a mindset to set aside pain and treat it like it’s not important. If we take body pain for granted, it can have long-term negative consequences, affecting your overall health and getting in the way of everyday tasks at home or work.

Relationship Between Muscle and Stress

The muscles tense up to protect themselves from injury when you’re stressed. They release again once you feel relaxation, but if you’re constantly under stress, your muscles may having only little time to relax. Tight muscles can cause headaches, back and shoulder pain, and body aches. Over time, this lead to create an unhealthy cycle as you stop exercising and turn to pain medication for relief.

Body Pain Can be Treated with Body Massage

When you treat the mind, you treat the body as well. In addition, treating the body well with care will lead to better emotional wellness. If you have been feeling cranky since you got injured during exercising, maybe your sore back might be the result of that negative feeling. 

Pain is not only a physical feeling. It is multi dimensional. Body pain affects your emotions, causing you to be anxious or depressed, it can also be the expression of your anxiety and depression. The good news is, there is significant evidence supporting the inclusion of massage therapy to help alleviate the different types of pain. A massage therapy can play a big role in the management of anxiety and depression.
