Mood depends not only on external factors, but also on the state of the body. If we are healthy and full of energy, and the blues do not recede, perhaps the problem is in … the joints. Don’t believe? Several stories about the subtle relationships between emotions and the body from the practice of osteopath Kirill Mazalsky.
We attribute dissatisfaction with life to the environment, fatigue at work, and other external factors. But if the blues do not go away either after playing sports, or after talking with friends, or after sessions with psychologists, there is a reason to take care of your health. Perhaps a couple of simple manipulations will help to improve life.
Sadness poisoning
A 35-year-old man, playing sports, was injured, followed by a simple operation on the shoulder joint. The shoulder began to heal quickly, and life seemed to have to return to normal. But the mood was getting worse every day. The man went to a psychologist, and he, knowing the features of the restoration of the body and psyche after the operations, sent him to me.
After surgery, mood swings are not uncommon. We fall out of the usual routine: we can’t exercise regularly, we meet friends less often, we can’t lead an active life.
Drugs that are administered for immersion in anesthesia can affect the production of hormones, and therefore mood
Do not forget about an additional negative factor: the toxic effect of anesthetic drugs on the whole body and on the brain in particular. Drugs that are administered for immersion in anesthesia can affect the production of hormones, and hence the subsequent change in mood.
All this led to psychological maladaptation, from which the patient could not get out on his own. As a result of osteopathic work, it was possible to restore the correct biomechanics of the body, restore mobility to the shoulder joint, correct posture, restore strength — and, most importantly, normalize metabolic processes in the brain.
The body itself «engaged» in active recovery, and a good mood returned. The man got the opportunity to return to the mode that gave him the maximum pleasure from life.
This weird sex
A 22-year-old girl came to an appointment with a colleague: she fell off her bike, felt discomfort in the ribs while breathing. In the emergency room they said that there was no fracture, they diagnosed a bruise.
The osteopath took up the treatment of the chest, and occasionally asked about the general state of health. In particular, about the menstrual cycle and libido. The girl said that she never complained about gynecological problems. But the libido … It seems that everything is fine, and there is a young man, «just some kind of boring sex.» What does «boring» mean? It turned out that the girl had never experienced an orgasm with a partner in her life.
At the session, the ribs were released fairly quickly, the problem with the chest was solved, and there was little time left to work with the pelvis. As the examination showed, the girl had a characteristic turn of the hip joints — one in which the knees look at each other. This position of the joints created tension in the pelvic area, which did not allow you to enjoy sex.
The girl came to the next session in a completely different mood — open, energetic and cheerful. Sexual life with a partner improved.
Insidious Trauma
A 45-year-old man presented with complaints of neck pain. Seven months ago, I had a minor accident: I was driving at a speed of 30 km/h, looking for the right turn, and another car drove in from behind. The blow was not strong, he did not receive any injuries — except that his neck hurt for a week later, because when it was hit, it somehow “unpleasantly shook”.
According to the results of the examination, it became clear that the man had the consequences of a whiplash injury — an insidious violation that manifests itself several months, and sometimes years, after an accident or fall. As a result of an injury, there is a sharp overstrain of body tissues — muscles, ligaments, fascia and dura mater.
One of the first symptoms of this condition is depression. It develops against the background of ailments that a person ignores.
The result is a violation of the mobility of the dura mater (DM). The entire autonomic nervous system is out of balance. Diagnosing a violation with the help of equipment is not easy. But it is possible to assess the state of the TMT manually. One of the first symptoms of this condition is depression. It develops against the background of ailments that a person ignores: dizziness, headaches, arrhythmias.
For several sessions, the mobility of the DM was restored, the blood circulation of the brain and the circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid improved. All organs returned to normal operation. And with them a good mood.
