Did you know your emotions might be adding to your hip and lower back pain?
Hello and welcome. I’m Sarah Gowans, remedial massage and cranio-sacral therapist, and Emotional Integration facilitator, at Blossoming Me and the Healthy Learning Lounge.
Here, we’re a sanctuary for you to tap into and nurture your journey to health, well-being, and a positive mindset. We focus on helping you clear stresses, tensions, and blocks that can hold you back from living your most fulfilling life.
Today, let’s explore how stress and trauma can show up in your body, and what you can do about it.
1: How emotions store tension in the pelvis
The pelvis is a common area for our body to store unresolved stress and trauma, And this can lead to physical pain in the hips and lower back.
Our hips and pelvic area, are like a “stress vault.” When we experience stress, trauma, or even just the daily life challenges, we often tighten our pelvic muscles without realizing it. Over time, this tension builds, creating discomfort in the hips and lower back.
Think about the last time you felt overwhelmed—did your body feel heavy, especially in your lower half?
2: Connection to the Fire Element Meridian Channels
Summer time, is the time of The traditional Chinese medicine Fire Element Meridian Channels: Heart, Small Intestine, Triple Heater, and Circulation Sex. These energy pathways play a key role in our emotional balance, physical health, and vitality. And they are strongly connected to our pelvic region. When they’re blocked by physical tension or emotional stress, it can leave us feeling drained, disconnected, or even stuck in cycles of pain.
3: Chronic stress limiting blood flow and mobility
Chronic When our body stays in a state of “fight or flight” due to chronic stress, tension in the hips can limit blood flow and energy, amplifying feelings of discomfort or fatigue. Restricted blood flow, particularly to our hips and lower back, can not only increase our stiffness but also slow our healing in these areas, making pain last longer. If you’ve been dealing with pain that won’t go away, stress could be playing a bigger role than you realize.
4: Unprocessed emotions amplifying physical pain
Our hips and pelvis are deeply tied to our emotional and often emotional health. Unprocessed emotions—such as grief, anxiety, or feelings of being overwhelmed, can lead to a cycle of muscle tightness and pain in the hips, lower back, and pelvis.
Breaking the cycle through awareness and release
Ignoring these emotional connections can make physical treatments less effective, as the root cause remains unaddressed.
Studies suggest that integrating emotional release techniques into trauma-informed bodywork therapies may help make significant improvements for chronic pain sufferers.
