We’ve all had one muscle contracture. The most common are those of the neck and back. Sometimes they generate slight discomfort and that is why we can continue doing our daily activities; but others the pain can become very acute and directly prevent us from moving easily.
In most cases, we associate a contracture with a bad posture, having slept badly or having made a bad movement. But what about your emotional sense? What is the body telling us through a contracture?
Although we are used to recording what happens to us in a fragmented way (our knee hurts, our arm hurts, our head hurts, etc.), we are a unit. Body and mind are united and, if we are well, they remain in harmony. Pain could be, in this sense, an indicator that something in that balance has been disturbed.and then it is necessary that we ask ourselves what is happening to us.
According to the , each disease has an emotional meaning that can be traced in each person. In the case of the back, for example, represents our most structural way of being, living and feeling. Think that our spine is located there, the base on which our entire structure is maintained.
Also, the back is the most revealing part of our interior; symbolically it is the place where we “locate” what we do not want to leave exposed.
Emotions such as anger, resentment, fear, or worry can “clump” into knots and create tension.
According to specialists, the emotions that are linked to a contracture can be: excess responsibility or assuming other people’s burdens as their own (cervical area); fears (dorsal area); frustrations (lower back); and anger (lower area, close to the intestines). This It can vary depending on each person, so it is necessary that if you feel that your contractures could have an emotional significance, you turn to a professional who can guide you to release the emotion that may be blocking your well-being.
If you are having a contracture in your back, but you have not had any trauma, ask yourself:
What is “weighing down” you in your life? Is there something in the way you feel/act/think that is bringing you some kind of conflict? What are you feeling “stiff” about? Where would you like to move and cannot as you would like?
Remember: every emotional problem will surely have its external symptom in the body. Listen to yourself, register what happens to you, and give room to emotions; sometimes trying to hide them can be less beneficial for you. Take care of yourself first of all.
