It's no secret that our body responds to emotions. This trait of behavior has passed to us from distant wild ancestors-animals. And if for them such a bodily expression of aggression, fear, anxiety, anger is necessary for adequate interaction with the outside world, then we are forced to suppress these reactions in order to please the norms of public morality. The dog clenches its claws and tightens its jaw when angry. A person also has a spasm of the flexor muscles and maxillofacial muscles. Adrenaline is released. Heart rate increases. But the dog, after the end of the irritating factor, quickly calms down. A person, due to the suppression of emotions, or, on the contrary, the mental consolidation of them, all the time returns to a stressful state. And the muscle spasm persists. The work of the heart, bronchi, gastrointestinal tract, pelvic organs is disrupted. The same thing happens with fear. In animals, the hair stands on end, in humans, the muscles of the neck zone of the cervical and thoracic regions spasm, pressure rises, and sleep is disturbed. Animals draw their tails, and a person strains the pelvic diaphragm and, as a result, gets a chronic violation of sexual functions, infertility, in women - miscarriage, menstrual irregularities. Disruption of bowel function, constipation is a sign of latent depression, suppressed sadness. Diarrhea is a symptom of emotional instability, insecurity, the same fears. Negative emotions disrupt the work of the entire smooth muscles of the body, lead to dysfunctions of emptying the gallbladder, pancreas, and bladder. Since the body constantly spends vital resources on maintaining internal stress, muscle spasm, immunity decreases. In combination with a violation of the blood supply to the clamped organs, this leads to the development of chronic infectious processes: cystitis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, bronchitis, sinusitis, gastritis and many others - "it".
The above is terrible, but reflects only half of the sum of bodily-emotional illnesses.
The other half is the consequences of physical trauma. Very often, strong emotions impair our ability to coordinate, adequately respond to difficult situations that arise. For example, a husband, after a quarrel with his wife, gets behind the wheel, loses control, gets into an accident. After an unsuccessful date, the girl does not pay attention to the road, stumbles, falls, gets a leg injury. Running away in horror from a huge mastiff, a person does not notice the construction fittings and hits his head. There are many examples. Their essence is that the trauma received at the time of emotional stress is firmly associated in our subconscious with the previous destructive emotion. And it is practically very difficult to eliminate the consequences of trauma at the physical level without releasing this pathological emotion.
Many osteopaths believe that muscle tissue and fascia are also able to locally record pathological emotions received during trauma. The zones of overstressed tissue formed in the fascia are called psychoemotional cysts.
How can you help? How to fix this situation?
First of all, it is necessary to find and release all foci of local fascial psychoemotional spasms. Special osteopathic techniques allow you to quickly identify these areas and create conditions for the release of tension from the tissues. During these sessions, the patient can sometimes re-experience the emotions associated with the trauma or situation, but in a less vivid and painful form. After release, a pleasant state of relaxation, calmness, bliss sets in.
The second step is to balance the central nervous system, normalize the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the ventricle of the brain and the spinal canal, balance the autonomic nervous system, relieve excessive stress or, on the contrary, stimulate its various links. This will significantly improve the work of internal organs.

At the third stage, the main task is to restore the adequate reactivity of our psycho-bodily sphere. It is normal for a person to experience emotions. In some situations, emotions of anger, aggression, and caution are really necessary. They mobilize our body to resist surprises and stresses. But after the termination of stress, emotions should leave our body and mind. Everything has its time. The human body is an open biological system. For life we need food intake. It is also necessary to completely remove exchange products. The same is true for emotions.
How to achieve such flexibility of the nervous system and psyche?
There are also special osteopathic approaches for this. A healthy body with good nerve conduction and blood supply to organs and tissues, normal muscle tone, the correct position of the elements of the skeletal system - it will already be quite easy to cope with emotional stress. If we add alternating dosed elements of stress to the correction program (this can also be done by osteopathic influence on the functional structures of the nervous system), we will be able to teach the body-psyche system even more selectively and minimally need to respond to stress factors. Without any further consequences. Athletes, officers of special forces, astronauts achieve similar results through long-term intense physical and mental training,we have OSTEOPATHY - an effective medicine and prevention of any stress.
