Finding Life Balance

“All work and no play make for a wonderful life”

                                                                        Noone Ever

Finding life balance requires striking a balance between fulfilling life responsibilities and self-care. Some call the life balance concept a myth, but whether you think of it as balance or a symphony, you need balance. When work or caring for others throws life out of balance, you need to pivot and focus on yourself.

Journaling helps many people process their emotions, set goals, and manage stress. When you write about what’s bothering you, you process your thoughts and feelings. This helps you find clarity and create action plans.

Speaking of action, regular exercise—such as walking, swimming, or strength training—naturally releases endorphins. These hormones act as natural stress relievers to help you feel better. In addition to releasing endorphins, exercise releases tension that often contributes to neck pain and headaches.

Stretching routines and mobility work not only strengthen muscles, it also help get your body better aligned. As a result, your body is better prepared to handle the physical effects of stress.

Unfortunately, many people find exercise, stretching, and mobility routines painful. Don’t let the thought of pain and discomfort keep you from moving again. Physical therapists can help!

How Physical PT Helps Stress Pain Relief

Physical therapy techniques like myofascial release help relieve common stress symptoms such as neck pain, headaches, and stress-related discomfort. Stress or poor posture causes connective tissue (fascia) to become tight contributing to stress-related pain and discomfort. Balanced Body uses myofascial release to eliminate the tension in the fascia and bring relief.

When you feel better, moving is easier and you feel in control of your stress. 

Physical PT Personalized for Your Needs

Before beginning therapy, Balanced Body therapists perform a complete assessment. This allows them to identify other underlying causes of your discomfort, such as muscle imbalances, poor posture, and stress-related tension.  Balanced Body uses physical PT to improve your body mechanics holistically. In addition, you’ll learn stress-relieving exercises to perform on your own to help you achieve better balance in your daily life.
