Maybe the tension isn't the whole problem.
Your neck gets tight.
Your shoulders brace.
Your jaw grips.
Your body feels stiff, heavy, tired or harder to move through the day.
And you may already be doing many of the things you're supposed to do.
Stretching. Exercising. Eating better. Working on your sleep. Taking supplements. Trying to manage stress. Breathing. Mobility work. Massage. Physical therapy.
Some of it probably helps.
But eventually the tension returns.
Your energy drops.
Work takes more out of you.
And things that used to feel relatively easy start requiring more effort.
So the question becomes bigger than:
“Why does my tightness keep coming back?”
It becomes:
“Why is everything starting to take so much out of me?”
