Tonawanda Back Muscles Relax with Happy Emotions
Emotions impact our mind and body reactions. Happy emotions make us smile. Sad emotions make us frown. These reactions are the outer reactions we most commonly see. What about other emotional, inner reactions? Researchers are analyzing these. A recent study regarding emotions and back muscle reactions captured the attention of Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation who cares for many Tonawanda back pain sufferers. It’s a reminder to consider the whole person - mind and body! – and to sit up straight.
EMOTIONS AFFECT POSTURE
When someone is depressed or just in a down mood, how can you tell? Slumped forward, eyes to the ground, tired? We have all seen this. Upright posture does so much to increase positivity and decrease fatigue and anxiety. (1) Body posture may well influence emotional reactions! An interesting development regarding the the relationship between muscular states and emotions, researchers discovered that upright seated postures are advantageous. Upright seated posture in constrast to a slumped seated posture was noted to raise self-esteem, arousal, and mood as well as reduce fear. Linguists noted that slumped posture people used more negative emotion words and fewer words than upright posture people. They therefore recommended in their study to sit upright when in a stressful situation as it can maintain self-esteem, decrease focus on self, lower negative mood and generate a positive mood. Speech rate rose, too. Sitting upright may be a means to foster resilience to stress. (2) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation sees firsthand how emotions impact Tonawanda chiropractic patients, especially Tonawanda back pain sufferers who are stressed and down.
NEGATIVE EMOTIONS AFFECT BACK MUSCLES
For back pain sufferers – who are certainly not immune to a sad mood! – body responses like slumping are not uncommon. In an electromyographic study of back muscles, it was found that negative emotions raised differential back muscle activity while positive emotions did not. The muscles were left alone, not having to react at all. (3) While healing, the back pain sufferer’s spine does not need any extra stimuli. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation offers gentle Tonawanda chiropractic spinal manipulation in the form of Cox® Technic to relax its muscles and lessen its pain.
