The Tension You Don’t See: How We Accumulate Emotions in the Head and Neck
Fast pace, deadlines, responsibilities, and an avalanche of daily thoughts. Who isn’t going through something similar, raise your hand!
Have you ever stopped to notice where your body stores this emotional overload? Often, the answer lies exactly where we pay the least attention: in the head, scalp, face, and neck.
If you find yourself frowning unknowingly, experiencing jaw pain, scalp tension, or neck stiffness, know that these are not just physical manifestations. These tensions are reflections of emotions that haven’t been properly processed.
Why do we accumulate tension in these areas?
Our body has its own intelligence. It stores repressed emotions in specific points, creating blockages that affect not only physical well-being but also mental and emotional health. In the case of the head and neck, this overload can have several causes:
Excess thoughts and worries: A racing mind creates mental hyperactivity that translates into tension in the forehead, scalp, and jaw muscles.
Prolonged stress: The body remains in a constant state of alert, stiffening the muscles of the neck and the base of the skull.
Unexpressed emotional burdens: Many emotions we avoid dealing with—like sadness, anger, or anxiety—become trapped in the head region, especially in the jaw and facial muscles.
Posture and daily habits: Excessive screen use, teeth grinding, and sleeping in improper positions also contribute to tension buildup.
How does this tension impact your life?
Have you noticed that after a stressful day your head feels heavier?
Or that when you’re emotionally overwhelmed, you feel tightness in your neck?
This happens because these accumulated tensions directly interfere with your well-being.
Key symptoms:
– Frequent headaches
– Feeling of heaviness in the head or gaze
– Mental fatigue and difficulty concentrating
– Bruxism and jaw tension
– Insomnia or shallow sleep
– Feelings of distress and anxiety
The solution???
Release tension through therapeutic touch!
Relief doesn’t just come from muscle relaxants or painkillers The key to unlocking these tensions lies in therapeutic touch.
The Neurosomatic Head Spa is a specialized technique that uses specific movements on the head, face, and neck to release tension points, free trapped emotions, and provide deep relaxation.
Through massage and stimulation of strategic points, this therapy enhances blood circulation, improves brain oxygenation, and stimulates the release of well-being hormones such as serotonin and endorphins.
Moreover, touching the scalp and face brings an immediate sense of comfort and security, helping to reduce anxiety symptoms and promoting better sleep
