When
stress manifests physically, it
causes us to tighten our muscles, particularly the muscles around our shoulders and down our spine. It is the tension of these lower
back muscles that
causes us to experience
pain, and is known as Tension Myositis Syndrome."
Stress affects
the body in a variety of ways, from mood swings and headaches to weight fluctuations. However, an often-overlooked side effect of
stress is neck and
back pain. Over time, repetitive bouts of
stress can cause musculoskeletal issues in these regions of
the body."
