The Impact of Past Trauma on Functional Alignment and Movement

Emotional trauma from past experiences can deeply impact how our bodies move and function. When we experience stress, fear, or emotional pain, our muscles tend to tighten, affecting our posture and movement patterns. Over time, these unresolved emotions can lead to chronic tension, restricted mobility, and even structural misalignments in the body.

Mental trauma, such as PTSD or severe anxiety, can manifest physically through symptoms like muscle tension, stiffness, and even changes in gait or posture. These physical manifestations are the body's way of responding to stress and protecting itself. If not addressed, these patterns can become ingrained, affecting daily activities and overall well-being.

Healing from past trauma involves addressing both the emotional wounds and their physical manifestations. Through a combination of techniques such as movement, therapeutic exercises, emotional support and a range of healing modalities, individuals can begin to release tension, improve mobility, and regain a sense of balance.
