Stress is a word we throw around in day-to-day conversation, but it can have a much greater effect on us than we may think. Stress has a clear effect on mental health. Believe it or not, stress can also affect your physical health. There are many common symptoms caused by stress. Two of the most overlooked physical symptoms of stress are muscle and back pain.

Stress is a natural feeling, therefore it is not always a bad thing. For some people, it can create a burst of motivation, allowing you to complete tasks that may have been on the back burner lately. In addition, stress may help some realize that some things in their life are causing more harm than good for them. There is a point in which stress begins to go from good to bad: when it becomes unmanageable. 

One of the key signs that stress may be shifting towards being too much is physical symptoms. Stress is capable of causing aches and pains to your back and muscles. Many times, your muscles tense up when you are tense. Once your mental tension is released, your muscles will relax. A great tip to help relax is to meditate. Meditation can help you clear your mind from many of the high-stress aspects of your life.

Along with muscle pain, back pain can be another symptom of stress. Back pain is often a scary symptom since your back is involved in many daily activities. Similar to muscle pain, stress-related back pain can be reduced by improving mental clarity. It is important to take time for yourself, especially when you are very stressed. Giving your brain a small break will help you focus more clearly when it is time to get back to work.

It is important to not overlook any physical symptoms that are caused by stress. Another great way to release stress is through massage. To make sure you are getting the best treatment available, contact a professional, such as Holistic Massotherapy & Wellness. They offer a wide variety of massage techniques, as well as aromatherapy. Find a treatment that will meet your needs. Putting yourself first can be hard, but it is essential to limit the amount of stress in your life.
