Instead of fainting or going unconscious, think of a subluxation/restriction as your body’s attempt at managing stress.
Not all stress is bad. A 20-minute workout at the gym for a fit 25-year old is good stress. The same workout for your 75-year old grandmother would likely be bad stress!
Physical Stress
Repetitive motions (painting the ceiling), postural distortions (falling asleep with your neck twisted) and whiplash injuries from a car accident are physical stresses. So are slips and falls. Even being the birthing process can be an example for both mother and child.
Mental Stress
Ever faced an impossible deadline at work? Or grieved the loss of a loved one?
Notice the posture of someone who is depressed. Frustration and a sense of powerlessness; are common forms of emotional stress.
