Is your Physical/Structual/Musculo-skeletal System out of whack?
There are many contributing factors to depression....and physical, structural/musculo-skeletal ones are right up there....so let's start there!
We are vertebrates and our bone, muscle and joints are connected to our organs....so...the state of our organs will and does affect our musculo-skeletal system. People who present with chronic conditions like depression, inevitably also present with musculo-skeletal symptoms....like back pain and neck pain, muscle fatigue, general muscular pain....and so on.
(Be aware that it is essential to attend to the gastrointestinal tract in clearing both depression and musculo-skeletal issues. And...it is essential to attend to your musculo-skeletal system to fix your depression and your gastrointestinal tract. All is one, so you cannot just target one system.)
So...to the spine! Your spine holds your whole being up. If it is straight, aligned and free, then blood and nerve impulses will flow freely to all parts and systems of the body. This in turn means that your organs will be better nourished and healing can then occur. If the spine is misaligned...healing cannot occur. So....it is essential to uncover any problems in this area.
Now....when you are suffering from depression you are usually low in energy reserves and consequently spend an inordinate amount of time in a sedentary position.....which further the problem of spinal misalignment and muscle weakness.
What to do? Various specialists can help you uncover and correct any problems. This list is by no means exhaustive....these are just a few options that we have found effective.
