Stress And Neck Pain: Are You Being A Pain In Your Own Neck?


Stress and neck pain usually go together. We don’t call something a pain in the neck without reason!

This is because your body's response to stress involves your muscles - especially in your neck.

This becomes a problem if you spend long periods under stress – that’s why you end up with a stiff neck.

Long term stress can play havoc with your health. It's a modern day disease and difficult to avoid unless you sell up and live in a cave :0)

Hormones released when you're stressed increase bodily functions such as breathing, your heart rate, sugar metabolism and muscle readiness.

Your stress hormones effectively shut down all systems not immediately required for the fight or flight reaction such as the immune system.

Stress And Neck Pain
It Doesn’t Have To Be Like This

It's important to be aware of your response to stress and recognise it early. But, an important point here is that

Stress is your reaction to the situation.

If it's your reaction, it's possible to learn how to not react.

stress and neck pain Of course, it can be difficult to not to react poorly in a stressful situation, one of these being to tighten your neck. It's difficult because most of us don't know how not to react.

In a fast moving world, we belief we need to react faster just to keep pace. We have become used to the knee-jerk reaction, so much so, that we don't even consider other ways to behave.

But...

Did you know that, only you can make yourself stressed?

I bet you say things such as "my boss is really stressing me out today", whereas we should say "I am allowing my boss to stress me out today". See the difference?

As a teacher of The Alexander Technique I can show you how to prevent harmful responses to stress. It's about recognising situations that will cause you problems, and then learning how to take control and not let your neck and health suffer.

stiff neck and stress The techniques I use with my clients are now available in my ebook, 'How To Treat Your Stiff Neck'. It has 56 pages of advice on stress reduction, stress relief, posture and relaxation that will help remove the stress from your neck. And if it doesn’t I will give you a full refund (although less than 1 percent ask for one!).
