Letting go of it all..

Have you had chronic pain for years and have not been able to get rid of it? Did you know that sometimes your emotions get held up inside your body, even if you think you have resolved or forgotten about a traumatic experience? 

Sometimes clients come in with chronic pain that they have had for many months or even years.  Some have absolutely no idea where the pain came from, they just want it gone. Studies have been done that associate body pain with certain emotions.

Here are some articles that help to show what body part is connected with particular emotions.

When I am working on particular areas of the body in therapeutic massage, sometimes individuals can begin to release the emotions that have been held "hostage" in their body. It is a pretty unique experience. Once the pain has been relieved, a client can feel emotionally drained and may need to sleep for a long time. This is perfectly natural and allows the body to recharge.

Massage therapy helps not only to work on the muscle and joint pain one can have, it also brings a person awareness to what they need to work on in their emotional lives.
