Ever feel like no matter how much you try to relax, your body still holds onto tension? Tight shoulders, a stiff neck, and tension headaches aren’t just random—they’re signs that stress is physically stuck in your body.

The Science of Stress & Your Body

When you experience stress, your nervous system activates a fight-or-flight response, flooding your body with cortisol and adrenaline. But here’s the problem: if that stress isn’t released, it builds up in your muscles, fascia, and spine, causing:

• Chronic tension in the neck and shoulders

• Jaw clenching and headaches

• Lower back pain and tightness

• Fatigue and restlessness

Over time, stored stress can even lead to postural imbalances and nervous system dysfunction, making it harder for your body to truly relax—even when your mind wants to.

How to Release Stuck Stress & Reset Your Body

1. Move with Intention – Gentle mobility exercises, yoga, and breathwork can help disrupt the stress cycle and release stored tension.

2. Get Adjusted – Chiropractic care helps restore nervous system balance, improve circulation, and release muscle tension, making it easier for your body to recover from stress.

3. Prioritize Deep Breathing – Slow, controlled breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, shifting your body out of stress mode. Try box breathing (4-4-4-4) for an instant reset.
