Stress and muscle tension
When stress settles in your body as tight muscles, poor sleep and constant tiredness.
Common signs

What usually causes it
Stress keeps muscles switched on. Over weeks, that shows up as tight shoulders, a stiff jaw, headaches and poor sleep.
How we treat it
At your first visit we’ll ask how it started, what makes it better or worse, and check how you move. Then we agree a plan with you. It usually mixes hands-on care with simple exercises you can do at home, and you’ll always know why we’re doing what we do.
