‘Emotional health is so strongly associated with physical pain that in many cases it correlates much higher than biomechanical ‘dysfunction’.
Although pain can definitely stem from tissue damage, many studies have shown a high correlation with issues like back pain, depression and anxiety.
Humans are holistic, and your pain may not always be due to physical issues.
When I become stressed or anxious, I have noticed my right hip starts to hurt.
This is why when a client comes to me in pain, I don’t just try to identify the physical issue.
Next time you feel a niggle, check in on your stress levels. Injury might not always be the cause of your pain.
