Our bones provide structure, our joints make the skeletal system flexible and make movement possible, and our muscles provide strength by pulling on our bones when we move. All together our bones, joints and muscles, and joints (with the support of cartilage, ligaments and tendons) create the musculoskeletal system.
Our musculoskeletal system provides strength and support for all our organs and helps form our physical shape. And like all systems of the body, it has an important role to play in allowing us to function optimally and at peak health.
When our musculoskeletal system is under stress, it not only impacts how our physical body feels but it emotionally limits what activities we can partake in and limits our contribution to our community/society. This can have a knock on effect impacting us as individuals both physically and mentally.
Our bones are made up of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and other minerals, as well as the protein – collagen. Calcium is needed to make bones hard, which allows them to support your weight. Bones also store calcium and release some into the bloodstream when it’s needed by other needs of the body. The volumes of certain vitamins and minerals that you eat, especially vitamin D and calcium, directly affect how much calcium is stored in the bones.
Our joints, as mentioned above, are the connection between two bones. Joints and their surrounding structures allow you to bend your elbows and knees, wiggle your hips, bend your back, turn your head, and wave your fingers.
Smooth tissue called cartilage and synovium, and a lubricant called synovial fluid cushion the joints so bones do not rub together. But with increasing age, injury, or carrying too much weight can cause wear and tear to your cartilage. This can lead to damage in your joints and lead to arthritis which is the inflammation of your joints.
Muscles pull on the joints, allowing us to move. They also help the body perform other functions so we can grow and remain strong, such as chewing food and then moving it through the digestive system. The human body interestingly has more than 600 muscles and they can make up half of a person’s body weight.
We have three types of muscles:
Symptoms and sign associated with joints can include:
Common pathologies of the joints and muscles are:
JointsWith joint problems there tends to be a great deal of resentment and anger related to perceived shortcoming in life. This could be related to personal relationships and failed projects. Often there is a feeling of suppressed anger toward influential people in your life. In childhood, hostility, blame, judgement, a lack of trust and an unreliable foundation may have been common themes which need to be explored.
Our joints all have slightly different emotional themes connected to them, so location of joint pain or inflammation is important, as well as noticing if one side of the body is affected versus the other.
Often individuals who experience issues with their bones, feel caught up in circumstances that make them feel resentful, pushed beyond their limits or out of their comfort zone. There is often a lot of anger, frustration and resentment involved. It tends to be a lot stronger than what impacts joints, in a sense, the emotional pain is rooted deeper into the body – into the bones. Typically, the more infection or pain there is in the broken bone area, the more anger, resentment or grief the person is holding onto.
The emotions mentioned always end up impacting an individual’s sense of self-worth and there will be underlying limiting belief systems held in their subconscious mind connected to this which need to be cleared.
Muscle weakness often represents an inner weakness due to a combination of emotional exhaustion, being overwhelmed or feeling rigid and guilty. Anxiety is often linked with muscle problems having a paralysing effect, making a person not want to move forwards with life and their goals. There are often old fears that have left you feeling shocked, horrified or numb at play that need to be cleared.
All emotions are linked to belief systems and are in turn linked to events/ memories that we have experienced in our life. They may be significant life events or smaller recurrent events that accumulated emotional energy within us. We may not be aware of these events consciously but they are there in our subconscious mind working in the background wanting to be addressed and released.
Techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Matrix Reimprinting, Medical Intuition which we use in our Energy Psychology and Holistic Health packages are very powerful tools in helping to identify these memories and clearing the energy behind them and therefore shifting the belief systems.
There are many factors involved when looking at musculoskeletal concerns and why the body may not be functioning optimally. These require investigating holistically and the individual needs to be assessed as a whole to truly determine the root cause(s).
Adjusting your dietary and lifestyle habits, supporting mental wellbeing as well as assessing your spiritual wellbeing will play a crucial role in getting your joint & muscle symptoms back into balance.
Everyone is individual and therefore there is no one size fits all approach when it comes to health. It is important to get a health plan tailored to your needs, symptoms and life circumstances.
