Stress Related Pain
Are you're struggling to sleep or waking feeling just as tired as ever? First thing in the morning after a night of rest might even be the sorest time of your day.​
​
Your neck and shoulders might feel stiff from spending days at the computer. Or you might have pain that seems to have come from nowhere, and be showing no signs of improvement.
​
These things all point to a body experiencing stress. And mostly it's probably doing it well - you're ticking along day to day.
​
But you're sore. You're tired. And a massage now and then helps but it comes straight back.
​
If you have responsibilities at home, at work or in your community, you likely have a list of 'to dos'. You might have other folks lists to be looking after too. If this is the case, there's every chance your body is experiencing the effects of stress.
​
The big events in life - health, change or loss - certainly add to stress. But the little things very often add up.
Signs that stress might be adding to pain:
​
- Struggling to sleep
- Waking still feeling tired
- Sore or stiff first thing​
- ​Aches or pains at work
- Trouble fitting everything into your day
- Pain in various areas that can change
- Changes at home or work
